"The chapters included in this volume describe and analyse visions and realities of multilingual education and explore it as a societal resource. This collection has a multi-level nature that addresses not only a current pedagogical effort to develop multilingualism through schools and in higher education, but also in taking a zoom at multilingual speakers, their identities and their languages in contact and their language maintenance. Last but not least, the book is oriented not only on multilingualism in the Western society but it also sheds a light on its nature in Africa, Asia and South America." Mila Schwartz, Oranim Academic College, Israel
"This book covers a wide range of topics that are attracting substantial attention in the applied linguistics field. There are a number of real-world examples that will add information to the ongoing discussions. Given his experience and large international network, Prof. Romanowski is well placed to bring these topics and authors together, and he will be able to draw general lines of research and applications in education."
