Studies in Language and Language Education is a collection of state-of-the-art articles on current issues in language education, examined from individual and societal perspectives. The chapters address these issues by exploring empirical evidence from written and spoken forms of language, following a variety of communicative, educational, developmental and cultural research agendas. Together, the works in this volume create a continuum ranging from infancy to adulthood, in mono- or multilingual contexts and native and immigrant populations.

Anat Stavans and Irit Kupferberg – an applied developmental linguist and a discourse analyst – compiled this edited volume comprising twenty-one chapters by leading scholars from all over the world in the areas of language education, planning and policy, multilingualism, immigration and identity. The chapter authors have divergent backgrounds and disciplines which converge into a state of the art collection of the forms and functions of language among societies, within communities and individuals relating to language, literacy, psycholinguistics, culture and education.
