| Summary |
"Language Education and Migration provides a lively and critical introduction to policy and practice in language migrant education in a range of countries around the world. Migration has become a contentious issue with the numbers and needs of migrants often outpacing the development of policy and infrastructure. Policies that have been developed have been controversial and hotly contested such as the imposition of language tests for migrants and successive cuts to the funding of language classes for adults. Language Education and Migration:analyses and challenges language policies relating to adult migrants in nine countries examines theoretically-grounded aspects of practice provides a comparative study with separate chapters on policy and practice for each country. This book is essential reading for advanced students and researchers working in the area of language policy and language and migration"-- Provided by publisher |
