Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism by Colin Baker

Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism by Colin Baker

The fifth edition of this bestselling book provides a comprehensive introduction to bilingualism and bilingual education. In a compact and clear style, its 19 chapters cover all the crucial issues in bilingualism at individual, group and national levels.

I remain awed by Baker's ability to represent all positions and include all viewpoints, while remaining simple and straightforwardIt is its scholarly exhaustiveness and complexity, coupled with a simplicity of style, that makes this text invaluable for students and scholars alike.
