Disinventing and Reconstituting Languages - Bilingual Education & Bilingualism
Sinfree B Makoni
This book questions assumptions about the nature of language. Looking at diverse contexts from sign languages in Indonesia to literacy practices in Brazil, the authors argue that unless we change the ways in which languages are taught and conceptualized, language studies will not be able to improve the social welfare of language users.
