Reviews:

"Spolsky and Hult have put together a book that is not only
authoritative, but also original and innovative in scope and
treatment. The editors have succeeded in combining the extensive
experience of a senior scholar and the fresh insights of a junior
scholar with those of the international contributors in order to make
this a book that transforms our understandings of educational
linguistics for today." Ofelia Garcia, Columbia University
