(John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2012) "An affordable, one-volume compendium that sums up the increasingly complex and multidisciplinary field of educational linguistics via focused yet processable articles written by an international group of experts ... Spolsky & Hult offer a varied and valuable treatment of key language questions faced by educators and government planners today." Linguist List (September 2010)
