Abstract:

Biliteracy - the use of two or more languages in and around writing-
is an inescapable feature of lives and schools worldwide, yet one
which most educational policy and practice continue blithely to
ignore. The continua of biliteracy featured in the present volume
offers a comprehensive yet flexible model to guide educators,
researchers, and policy-makers in designing, carrying out, and
evaluating educational programs for the development of bilingual and
multilingual learners, each program adapted to its own specific
context, media, and contents.
