Description
Book SynopsisThis volume provides a state-of-the-art snapshot of language and education research and demonstrates ways in which local and global processes are intertwined with language learning, use, and policies. Reflecting but also expanding on Nancy Hornberger’s ground-breaking contributions to educational linguistics, this book brings together leading international scholars. Chapters present new research and cutting-edge syntheses addressing current theoretical and methodological issues in researching equity, access, and multilingual education. Organized around three central themes --- bilingual education and bilingualism, the continua of biliteracy, and policy and planning for linguistic diversity in education --- the volume reflects the holistic and dynamic perspective on language (in) education that is the hallmark of educational linguistics as a field.
Trade ReviewFrom bilingual education and the continua of biliteracy, to language planning and educational equity, this outstanding volume addresses key debates in educational linguistics, capturing both the depth and breadth of Nancy Hornberger’s legendary influence on an important field. Editors Francis Hult and Kendall King have ensured that Hornberger’s impact will remain vibrant for generations to come.

The papers in this volume eloquently celebrate the research findings and theoretical insights that Nancy Hornberger has contributed to the field of educational linguistics. The reader is made vividly aware of the direct impact that language planning decisions have on the lives of children, families, and educators and we are enabled to share in the passion for equity and justice that Nancy has infused throughout her work during the past 30 years.

Hult and King conduct here a masterful choir of voices that deepen our understanding of Nancy Hornberger’s impressive contributions to educational linguistics. By providing diverse local grounding to global issues of language and education, these different voices are raised to honor Hornberger, choirmaster par excellence, in praise of her complex views on the continua of biliteracy, bilingualism and bilingual education, and policy for language diversity in education. The result is a lucid volume that will become essential reading in educational linguistics.
