Abstract:

This book sheds light on the role of mother tongue-based multilingual
education (MTB MLE) as a means to enhance educational outcomes,
creating a space for non-dominant languages alongside more dominant
regional, national and international languages. It brings together a
number of underlying concerns including the maintenance of
non-dominant languages, the context of language policy and planning in
shaping this process, the poor educational outcomes of many speakers
of non-dominant languages in mainstream education programs and the
economic and social importance of becoming multilingual. It focuses on
the experiences of those involved in MTB MLE programs in early
childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary and adult education from
numerous settings in the Asia-Pacific region. This book provides
readers with a detailed overview of MTB MLE, with a clear and
insightful portrayal of the complex nature of policy and practice in
both more accommodating and less accommodating sociopolitical
environments.
