This essay and a report focus on the challenge to Britain's educational system posed by an increasingly multicultural and multilingual population. The essay, "Towards a Curriculum Policy for a Multilingual World," attempts to clarify the implications of multilingualism for the entire curriculum, for both curriculum design and administrative concerns. A 10-point plan of action is presented, indicating the need for teachers and other staff fluent in the community languages. The report, "The Education of Bilingual Learners: Towards a Coherent Policy," is the result of a working group on bilingual education within the Inner London Education Authority. Its sections address the following topics: racism, bilingual education, and the need for a policy for equality; a philosophy of bilingual education; the need for schools to keep in touch with the communities they serve; school-level issues of population mobility, placement, reception, orientation, and transfer; curriculum and instruction, guidance, and overall language policy; the needs of recent arrivals in the country; and resources. Appended materials include four bilingual curriculum models and comparisons with the systems of four other countries: the United States, Sweden, Bavaria, and Australia. An extensive bibliography (170 references) is included. The main bulk of the bibliography is a study bibliography prepared for use by the author and his colleagues. It is not complete and many of the books contain fuller bibliographies. These works are of some help in thinking about the curriculum for a multilingual world and the education of bilingual learners. Those which are exceptionally useful have an asterisk by them. (Author/MSE)

The social network model developed in the study is intended to account for the relationship between community norms of language use and conversational strategies of individual speakers, and for the relation of both to the broader social, economic and political context.

Essays reappraising the relationship between the various languages of late medieval Britain. The languages of later medieval Britain are here seen as no longerseparate or separable, but as needing to be treated and studied together to discover the linguistic reality of medieval Britain and make a meaningful assessment ofthe relationship between the languages, and the role, status, function or subsequent history of any of them. This theme emerges from all the articles collected here from leading international experts in their fields, dealing withlaw, language, Welsh history, sociolinguistics and historical lexicography. The documents and texts studied include a Vatican register of miracles in fourteenth-century Hereford, medical treatises, municipal records from York, teaching manuals, gild registers, and an account of work done on the bridges of the river Thames.

Multilingualism in the English-Speaking World is the winner of the BAAL Book Prize 2005. Multilingualism in the English-Speaking World: Pedigree of Nations explores the consequences of English as a global language and multilingualism as a social phenomenon. Written accessibly, it explores the extent of diversity in 'inner circle' English speaking countries (the UK, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand) and examines language in the home, school, and the wider community. Considers the perspectives of English as a global language as well as multilingualism as a social phenomenon. Written in an accessible style that draws on contemporary real life examples. Examines the everyday realities of people living in 'inner circle' English-speaking countries, such as the UK, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Discusses the theoretical issues that underpin current debates, drawing on research literature on societal multilingualism, language maintenance and shift, language policy, language and power, and language and identity.

This book examines the wide range of multilingual devotional performances engaged in by young Muslims in the UK today. It evaluates the contemporary mosque school in the UK and contrasts this with practices from the past and with prevailing discourses (both political and other) which suggest that such institutions are problematic. It also challenges the highly-politicised and mediatised discourse which suggests that linguistic diversity presents a threat to the privileging of monolingualism in the UK. Finally, it argues for the usefulness of the term ‘ultralingual’ when analysing the multilingual devotional language performances of these young people.
