Dual Language Education: Teaching and Leading in Two Languages

“A most notable aspect of this book is the combination of research from the perspectives of both education practitioners and educational administrators; representing a novel approach to studying bilingual education, combining recommendations for teachers, as well as educational leaders. The volume is suited for researchers in academia and faculty who prepare teachers and school administrators.” (Alcione N. Ostorga, Language Policy, Vol. 20, 2021)
