Clil In Higher Education: Towards A Multilingual Language Policy (Bilingual Education & Bilingualism, 92),Used

Review This threepart book makes an important contribution to the area of multilingual education and policy at tertiary level. By contextualising multilingual education within the realities of a particular university, the author offers a rich analysis which takes account of local nuances, such as the preservation of a local language, yet also captures a global perspective through her comprehensive coverage of literature and thinking in this area. Cecilia Jacobs, Stellenbosch University, South AfricaIn light of internationalization and its implications for universities worldwide, this book is not only a timely, but also highly needed contribution to the ongoing debate on multilingual language policy in tertiary education. In building on an admiringly complete and yet highly succinct synthesis of the relevant broad and diversified applied linguistic literature, the study offers a multilayered, but at the same time easily accessible discussion of the considerations, concerns and challenges that need to be taken on board when developing a wellinformed multilingual language policy. Readers will surely appreciate that the book also draws on a real life example the University Jaume I, Spain. Thanks to the personal involvement of the author in designing and managing this university's recent multilingual language policy and its implementation, the description of, and recommendations for supporting the use of Spanish, Valencian and English are particularly insightful and valuable as they combine applied linguistic expertise and knowledge with handson experience in 'doing' language policy at a multilingual university.
