International Perspectives on Bilingual Education: Policy, Practice,
and Controversy

Edited by John E. Petrovic, The University of Alabama

A volume in International Perspectives on Educational Policy,
Research, and Practice

Series Editor: Kathryn M. Borman, University of South Florida



This book is a defense of linguistic pluralism and language policies
and practices in education that sustain that ideal. Educational
meanings and models are influenced by different populations and
different social and historical contexts. International comparisons
can shed interesting light on the issues. Therefore, the purpose of
the book is to provide scholars an international comparative
understanding of language policy, its relation to educational
practice, and current debates within the field. This book will be of
interest to policy-makers, scholars, and graduate students in the
areas of bilingual education, language policy, and sociolinguistics.
