Two new chapters on literacy in multicultural societies and biliteracy in the classroom have been added and the following new topics covered: History of Bilingual Education in the United States; Assessment of Bilingual Children; Special Education and Bilingual Children; Bilingualism and the Economy; Deaf People and Bilingualism; Bilingual Teaching Methodology; Two-way Bilingual Education/Dual Language Education; European Schools Movement.
