About the Book

This book presents a comprehensive picture of languages and schools in Catalan-speaking countries, making much of the information available in English for the first time. The chapters examine multiple aspects of the language situation in these countries, including: the recovery of Catalan in schools; the position and status of the majority languages (English and Spanish); language-in-education policies in a multilingual, multicultural context; the possibility of multilingual competence; and the successes and failures of instructional processes.

Review :
A multilingual environment creates complex situations when teaching oral communication and literacy. The Catalan language is not only an element of identity, but also an example of a linguistic milieu affording immersion into an integrated language model. Catalan, Spanish and English are presented as a model of multilingualism. This book deals with good practices and the challenges encountered therein. Emili Soro-Camats, University of Barcelona, Spain This book will be an excellent resource for scholars, educators, and policy-makers involved in language planning and acquisition. Jordan Lavender, University at Albany, in Linguist List 25.2317
