Towards a Multilingual Culture of Education

This book brings together contributions from many different parts of the world, seeking to demonstrate the normality of multilingualism and to question the teaching/learning systems that are grounded on the principle of monolingualism. Investigations carried out in 30 African, Asian and Latin American countries bear witness to the often-striking failure of linguistic policies inherited from the colonial era. The authors criticize the colonial heritage and argue for a pluralistic approach that integrates local languages and mother tongues into both formal and non-formal education.Ouane, Adama is the author of 'Towards a Multilingual Culture of Education', published 2003 under ISBN 9789282011317 and ISBN 9282011313.
