Omschrijving
"The essays provide a good overview of second language learning in the US and present examples of what more can be done, or is currently being done, in other countries....Recommended for academic libraries supporting graduate programs in teaching English as a second language or foreign language education."
—CHOICE
"The book has two important messages. First, despite positive developments in recent years, foreign language learning is not a high priority among American college students yet. Rosenthals' book seeks ways to change this....Second, all language educators need to try to break down existing boundaries between academic disciplines that have a shared common ground but are considered to be independent fields, such as second language acquisition, bilingualism, ESL, and foreign language learning. This volume makes a serious attempt in this direction."
—American Journal of Psychology
"One of the book's most valuable features is the number and range of case studies. Each one provides just enough information so that the reader can get a clear picture of the context without being drowned in details."
—SSLA
"Sets the stage for a conversation that is long overdue....The case studies show that, in fact, dual language instruction at the university level is a 'well-kept secret,' not simply a hope or a fiction....The models presented might inspire conversation and action at my own university."
—Judith Lessow-Hurley

"Given the continuing growth in non-native speaking populations, this comprehensive examination of bilingualism is timely and relevant....An excellent comprehensive resource for language educators and college and university administrators."

"Presents some very unique and under-publicized programs. This book could make an important impact on how languages are taught and maintained in post-secondary schools....and influence significantly how languages are viewed in the academy in the next millennium."
