Beskrivning

Multilingual policies are increasingly important and required in educational settings worldwide, yet a solid experimental body of theory, research, and practice providing guidance for the development of policies is lacking. The Israeli context presented in this book serves as a case study or a model that could be used by bodies or entities seeking to devise a multilingual policy.The authors begin by addressing the general notion of a multilingual education policy with specific reference to the Israeli context. The book then focuses on specific challenges confronting the new policy that have been explored in empirical studies, and concludes with a proposed framework for a new multilingual education policy related to the core theoretical topics and empirical findings discussed in the previous chapters. This framework includes principles and strategies for implementing the process described in the book in other contexts, ensuring wide applicability and relevance.Developing Multilingual Education Policies: Theory, Research, Practice is an essential read for all involved in language policy and planning within applied linguistics and education.

This is clear thinking and solid experience toward education for a truly democratic and just multilingual world. Beloved scholar-advocates Tannenbaum and Shohamy share wisdom, expertise and a way forward for multilingual education policy, drawing on their decades of lived experience and dedicated language policy research and practice in conflict-ridden Israel.Nancy H. Hornberger, University of Pennsylvania, USAIn this empirically rich and conceptually cogent book, Michal Tannenbaum and Elana Shohamy present a new multilingual education policy in Israel through Shared Education and an array of innovative pedagogical and assessment approaches. The implications of this work go well beyond language and education. It is in fact a new vision for the nation, with diversity and peace at the heart of it.Li Wei, University College London, UK
