As populations become more mobile, so interest grows in bi- and multilingualism, particularly in the context of education. This volume focuses on the singular situation in Israel, whose complex multiculturalism has Hebrew and Arabic as official languages, English as an academic and political language, and tongues such as Russian and Amharic spoken by immigrants. Presenting research on bi- and trilingualism in Israel from a multitude of perspectives, the book focuses on four aspects of multilingualism and literacy in Israel: Arabic-Hebrew bilingual education and Arabic literacy development; second-language Hebrew literacy among immigrant children; literacy in English as a second/third language; and adult bilingualism. Chapters dissect findings on immigrant youth education, language impairment in bilinguals, and neurocognitive features of bilingual language processing. Reflecting current trends, this volume integrates linguistics, sociology, education, cognitive science, and neuroscience.

This volume attempts to illuminate Canada’s linguistic diversity by bringing together within one single volume a range of innovative studies which explore Canadian language issues across the political, legislative, social, educational and linguistic horizons. The ten chapters within the volume constitute a mixture of overview survey articles on a particular theme, as well as analyses based on large-scale empirical studies, presenting both qualitative and quantitative findings. The multidisciplinary approach provides complementary insights on a range of key-themes central to the Canadian linguistic context, such as in the case of language politics, language legislation, language education, sociolinguistics, language contact, language variation and change, varieties of French, minority language issues and language standardisation. The languages covered include both English and French, as well as Aboriginal languages.

This volume compiles a unique yet complementary collection of chapters that take a strategic comparative perspective on education systems, regions of the world, and/or ethnolinguistic communities with a focus on non-dominant languages and cultures in education. Comparison and contrast within each article and across articles illustrates the potential for using home languages – which in many cases are in non-dominant positions relative to other languages in society – in inclusive multilingual and multicultural forms of education. The 22 authors demonstrate how bringing non-dominant languages and cultures into schooling has liberatory, transformative potential for learners from ethnolinguistic communities that have previously been excluded from access to quality basic education. The authors deal not only with educational development in specific low-income and emerging countries in Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, the Philippines Thailand and Vietnam), Latin America (Guatemala and Mexico) and Africa (Mozambique, Senegal and Tanzania), but also with efforts to reach marginalized ethnolinguistic communities in high-income North American countries (Canada and the USA). In the introductory chapter the editors highlight common and cross-cutting themes and propose appropriate, sometimes new terminology for the discussion of linguistic and cultural issues in education, particularly in low-income multilingual countries. Likewise, using examples from additional countries and contexts, the three final chapters address cross-cutting issues related to language and culture in educational research and development. The authors and editors of this volume share a common commitment to comparativism in their methods and analysis, and aim to contribute to more inclusive and relevant education for all. “A richly textured collection which offers a powerful vision of the possible, now and in the future.” Alamin Mazrui, Rutgers State University of New Jersey, USA “This book takes the local perspective of non-dominant language communities in arguing for a multilingual habitus in educational development. Benson and Kosonen masterfully extend theories and clarify terminology that is inclusive of the non-dominant contexts described here.” Ofelia García, City University of New York, USA

This book looks at the question of language rights: the rights of minorities to remain monolingual if they so wish and the rights of governments to promote the language of the majority as the language of the state. The central question is once again the thorny problem of whether linguistic rights are fundamental human rights, and therefore inalienable and individual, or whether they are group rights, since communication necessarily involves more than one individual. The context of this discussion is the situation of the Russian speakers in Latvia and Kyrgyzstan.

This formidable selection of papers reflects the psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic underpinnings of the interface between language and education. Following an introduction that positions the field of educational linguistics historically and conceptually, the volume presents 15 contributions by leading scholars that cover the four areas most central to the field: - Language teaching, language learning and literacy (Widdowson, Bialistok, Cohen & Allison); - Language testing (Bachman, Davies, and Shohamy); - Multilingualism, minority languages and language planning (Bratt-Paulston, Fishman, Lambert, Amara, de Bot & van Els); - Language policy (Clyne, Tucker, Donato & Murday, McNamara & Lo Bianco, and Hornberger). New Perspectives and Issues in Educational Language Policy is published in honour of Bernard Dov Spolsky and reflects his impact on applied linguistics in general and educational linguistics in particular. The breadth and coverage makes this an indispensable title for future research in the field of educational linguistics.

This book examines the role that language-in-education policy, historically, has played in shaping possibilities for development, within countries in the Sub-Saharan and South Asian regions. This discussion takes account also of the complex ways in which language, education and development, are linked to the changing global labour market. Key questions are raised regarding the impact of international policy imperatives on development possibilities.

English, as a global language, plays a vital role in every one’s life. Students think that English language opens the door of the world for their future life. But as an alien language, the learners find it very difficult to understand the language. Not only to understand but to read, write and speak. A social language may be learnt quickly as there are many chances to encounter with public people who speak this as their mother tongue or a community language. But English is not a social language so all learners face difficulty. This difficulty may be eased out by adopting different methodology for learning English language. This could be possible only for educational institutions. In India and non English speaking countries, English could be learnt only in schools, colleges and Universities. So it is very important that methodology for English teaching should be often checked and updated. Earlier chalk and talk method was adopted. In due course, it underwent many changes and it, now has become student centric and the teacher has become a facilitator for the students in teaching learning process. The classroom, once a four wall room with a single board and small chalk piece, has now become a smart classroom with white smart board and an electronic pen stick. Even an LKG classroom is connected to the world and with one click the whole world comes into the classroom through internet services and displayed on the white board. If Shakespeare is taught, his manuscript of the text is displayed and his life is shown as a video film. If the Universe is taught to the students, the video of the Universe is shown and the real scientists are explaining the doubts of the students and they chat with the learners. As we are living in such a modern and advanced period, teaching methodology for English teaching should be updated to meet the challenges of today’s world. Education is the only way for the humanity to live happily and peacefully. Education connects the whole world for the benefit of the human race which is not possible for animal beings and other creatures also. In this process, English language plays a crucial role and an edition of book chapters may benefit the student and teaching community to update the teaching methodology of English language. So, this edition is brought to fulfill the need of the current society.

Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets. Leonardo da Vinci I would like to open this preface by uttering my belief that there is no wiser human than one who admits his oblivion and fights against it a perpetual battle. Learning is a process which infuses one’s development in any field. To learn and teach successfully is to master cognitive components which correspond to your learning methodology. Conquering fitting strategy is work half completed, the other half remains to its delivery and grasping through attention, memory, and thinking. Language learning as one field of learning is subject to receptive and productive skills which enables one’s competence to comprehend written and verbal material through reading and iv listening, in addition to producing written and verbal information through writing and speaking skills. Furthermore, foreign language learning is learning a new world alongside its affecting a new approach to your own world. Nevertheless, learning a language is not equally practical for everyone and can be contesting experience due to age, learning/teaching strategies, the similarity with the mother tongue and target language, motivation, level of interest, and need, consequently, learner personality. This book comprises five chapters which scrutinize learning, respectfully language learning under various circumstances and complexities, offering a solution to issues of dyslexic students, dementia patients, language acquisition and communication difficulties in the classroom, children’s learning process in general, and the dichotomy on literary work incorporation in foreign language teaching in particular. Encompassing all these topics the book strived to embrace teaching and learning matters on a more profound level hence find its broad reader. Seniha Krasniqi February 2021
