Publisher's Synopsis
This book brings together visions and realities of multilingual schools throughout the world to order to examine the pedagogical, socioeducational, and sociopolitical issues that impact on their development and success. The chapters describe and analyze schools with different target populations. Each contribution, written by well known scholars, affirms the desirability of multilingualism as a societal resource and as a right of individuals, whilst acknowledging the social, economic and political differences that make the acquisition of multilingualism easy for some and difficult for others.
