Flexible Multilingual Education

Putting Children's Needs First

Beschreibung

This book examines the benefits of multilingual education that puts children's needs and interests above the individual languages involved. The case studies reveal that flexible multilingual education is the most promising way of moving towards the elusive goal of educational equity in today's world of globalisation, migration and superdiversity.
