Abstract:

This book explores how different European education systems manage
multilingualism. Each chapter focuses on one of ten diverse settings (Andorra,
Asturias, the Basque Country, Catalonia, England, Finland, France, Latvia, the
Netherlands and Romania) and considers how its education system is influenced
by historical, sociolinguistic and legislative and political processes and how
languages are handled within the system, stressing the challenges and
opportunities in each area of study. The chapters provide the reader with
insights around three key aspects: the management of the guarantee of the
rights of regional language minorities; the incorporation of the language
background inherited by immigrants living in Europe (whether they are European
citizens or not) and the need to promote the learning of international
languages. Individually, the chapters offer deep insights into a specific
education system and, together, the studies allow for a comparison and
holistic understanding of multilingualism in European education.
