"Written by the foremost authorities in the field, this major volume provides introductions and foundations but also significant challenges and innovative analyses, important for both experienced and new researchers." Michael Byram, Professor Emeritus University of Durham "This Handbook will acquaint bilingual teachers and language educators with the 'multilingual turn' in bilingual education and help them place bilingual policies, politics, and practices into the larger framework of a globalized world. It offers a rich panorama of the theoretical foundations and historical developments of the field of bi/multilingual education, as well as vivid examples of bi/multilingual policy and practice in various regions of the world. The 78 distinguished contributors come from various areas of linguistics, applied linguistics, education, and literacy studies, offering a comprehensive state-of-the-art survey of research." Claire Kramsch, UC Berkeley, USA "This book is a landmark in the field of bilingual and multilingual education. It is a key resource for researchers, policy makers and educators who need to be informed of all existing options for educating children and young adults in the globalized and diverse world of the 21st century." Melissa Moyer, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain The Handbook of Bilingual and Multilingual Education is the first comprehensive reference work to address the policies, pedagogical practices, and educational theories related to the dynamic interdisciplinary field of bilingual and multilingual education, in a truly international way. The editors have drawn together a stellar team of established and emerging scholars from across the globe to address the theoretical foundations of bilingual and multilingual education and explore issues of pedagogy (including language assessment and teacher support) and special populations (from early childhood to adulthood, including learners with specific language impairments, and language learning outside the classroom). The Handbook examines specific regions from around the world, exploring issues of policy and perception in contexts as diverse as Japan, South Africa, Mexico, and Cambodia. Sixteen robust case studies, paired with the theoretical and pedagogical foundations, combine to make this Handbook a vital resource for students and educators alike engaging in this critical and vibrant field.
