This book is an essential resource for researchers and students concerned with the design, empirical investigation and evaluation of language learning environments in multilingual contexts. It provides a wide-ranging and admirably compact overview of theoretical issues, summarizes and comments illuminatingly on 37 published case studies, and explores the practicalities of programme design. An indispensable reference tool and handbook. * David Little, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland * This book focuses on how recent research findings on language learning have been implemented in classrooms. As French academics with strong connections to the North African, European and Anglophone spheres, the authors offer a fresh and dynamic take on issues associated with multilingualism and language teaching around the world. * Jean-Marc Dewaele, Birkbeck, University of London, UK * [This] book is interesting and clear. It coheres throughout all its chapters, yielding a smooth and pleasant reading and showing the way in which the researchers move from straightforward objectives from the very beginning [...] The 37 case studies are an open proposition for continuing research, inspiring teachers, and language educators to try out and explore with students. -- Veronica V Ghirardotto, Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina * LINGUIST List 32.908 *More details
