This book presents a comprehensive picture of languages and schools in Catalan-speaking countries, making much of the information available in English for the first time. The chapters examine multiple aspects of the language situation in these countries, including: the recovery of Catalan in schools; the position and status of the majority languages (English and Spanish); language-in-education policies in a multilingual, multicultural context; the possibility of multilingual competence; and the successes and failures of instructional processes.
Joaquim Arnau is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology, University of Barcelona. He has published widely on bilingual education and second language learning in Catalan.
