Schools and Language Minorities in Twelve Nations

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This comparative study surveys the educational policies and practices in response to language diversity in a dozen nations, and draws from them lessons for a more effective "e;whole-school"e; approach.Policies and practices are discussed in the context of political debate within the minority communities and in the wider society of each nation; the competing claims of integration and of language and cultural maintenance are taking widely differing forms in the nations studied and among the various minority communities. Perspectives from sociology, cultural anthropology, sociolinguistics, political science, and research on school effectiveness are brought to bear.

Inhaltsangabe

Educating Immigrant Children: Schools and Language Minorities in Twelve
Nations is certainly the most comprehensive review of its topic available
in English at this time. The book is strongly recommended for courses on
immigration and education, social foundations of education, bilingual and
multicultural education and comparative education. It is also a valuable
contribution to a very large international literature on education and
minority/migrant issues for its consistent presentation of complex issues
in all their complexity -- Education Review
