Bilingual Education and Language Policy in the Global South Summary

Bilingual Education and Language Policy in the Global South by Jo Arthur Shoba (Edge Hill University, Lancashire, UK)

This volume considers a range of ways in which bilingual programs can make a contribution to aspects of human and economic development in the global South. The authors examine the consequences of different policies, programs, and pedagogies for learners and local communities through recent ethnographic research on these topics. The revitalization of minority languages and local cultural practices, management of linguistic and cultural diversity, and promotion of equal opportunities (both social and economic) are all explored in this light.

Bilingual Education and Language Policy in the Global South Reviews

This volume is a welcome addition to the field, populated by engaging scholars with fresh perspectives and original insight into the field of language planning and policy. - David Cassels Johnson, Washington State University

Overall, Shoba and Chimbutane do an excellent job of illuminating this subject and this volume is definitely required reading for anyone looking at language education in the global South. - John Allison, International Review of Education
