- Summary
- This book examines the benefits of multilingual education that puts children's needs and interests above the individual languages involved. The case studies reveal that flexible multilingual education - rather than mother tongue education - is the most promising way of moving towards the elusive goal of educational equity in today's world of globalisation, migration and superdiversity.
