Abstract:

Bilingual Education in the 21st Century examines languages and bilingualism
as individual and societal phenomena, presents program types, variables,
and policies in bilingual education, and concludes by looking at practices,
especially pedagogies and assessments. This thought-provoking work is an
ideal textbook for future teachers as well as providing a fresh view of the
subject for school administrators and policy makers.

-Provides an overview of bilingual education theories and practices
throughout the world

-Extends traditional conceptions of bilingualism and bilingual education to
include global and local concerns in the 21st century

-Questions assumptions regarding language, bilingualism and bilingual
education, and proposes a new theoretical framework and alternative views
of teaching and assessment practices

-Reviews international bilingual education policies, with separate chapters
dedicated to US and EU language policy in education

-Gives reasons why bilingual education is good for all children throughout
the world, and presents cases of how this is being carried out 

"After this book, there is no need for another book on bi/multilingual
education for a decade. With its creativity, new conceptualizations,
enormous worldwide knowledge and unusual combination of path-breaking
theory and insider knowledge about schools, this is, The Book on bilingual
education."

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
