Educating Immigrant Children (eBook, PDF)

Schools and Language Minorities in Twelve Nations

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This study is concerned with the ways in which a dozen " knowledge-based societies" of Western Europe and the English-speaking world respond to unprecedented cultural and linguistic diversity resulting from the flow of immigrants and refugees since World War II. It asks how public policy has sought to use schooling to minimize the potentially divisive and inequitable effects of this diversity and to provide opportunities to the children of immigrants. It asks also how the nature of each of these societies affects the meaning of integration into each of them.

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
