Foundations for Multilingualism in Education from Principles to Practice

This foundational textbook is for pre-service educators who are preparing to work with linguistically and culturally diverse student populations. This text helps prospective teachers, administrators, and policymakers develop the expertise and practices they need to make informed language and literacy decisions in multilingual, bilingual, and English-medium school contexts. De Jong emphasizes multiple pathways for advocacy through classroom and school practices and policy-making, and proposes an agenda for research from a multilingual perspective.
