Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

The seventh edition of this bestselling textbook has been extensively revised
and updated to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to

bilingualism and multilingualism at individual, group and societal levels.
Updates to the new edition include:
 
- Thoroughly updated chapters with over 500 new citations of the latest
research.

- A new Chapter 16 on Deaf-Signing People, Bilingualism/Multilingualism, and
Bilingual Education.
- The latest demographics and other statistical data.
- Recent developments in and limitations of brain imaging research.
- An expanded discussion of key topics including multilingual education,
codeswitching, translanguaging, translingualism, biliteracy, multiliteracies,
metalinguistic and morphological awareness, superdiversity, raciolinguistics,
anti-racist education, critical post-structural sociolinguistics, language
variation, motivation, age effects, power, and neoliberal ideologies.
- Recent US policy developments including the Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA), Seal of Biliteracy, Proposition 58, LOOK Act, Native American
Languages Preservation Act, and state English proficiency standards and
assessments consortia (WIDA, ELPA21).
- New global examples of research, policy, and practice beyond Europe and
North America.
