"Bilingual education has long been a controversial topic for communities, policy-makers, and teachers. Misconceptions about what bilingualism itself is, and what bilingual education should do, have laid the groundwork for a wide range of policies, not always with a coherent vision for their students. In this wide-ranging and provocative book, Garcia examines the history and current state of bilingual education programs throughout the world, offers a critical reading of the current conversations around them, and invites readers to imagine a new paradigm for the twenty-first century; one based on the idea of multilingual fluidity as a social and cultural imperative in a globalized world. Garcia examines languages and bilingualism as individual and societal phenomena, presents program types, variables, and policies in bilingual education, and concludes by looking at practices, especially pedagogies and assessments. Questioning assumptions regarding language, bilingualism, and bilingual education, this book proposes a now theoretical framework and alternative view of teaching and assessment practices."
