Reviews
This book is appropriate for a wide array of readers. Several chapters outline the history, core features, terminology, and issues related to the various dual language education models, and these will serve as a good introduction for newcomers to immersion education. However, the book also contains enough new research to interest readers who are already well-versed in the topic. The contributions are likewise relevant to both researchers and practitioners, as their focus ranges from classroom discourse analysis to pedagogical strategies and teaching tips. Moreover, the writing is uniformly clear and accessible. Susan Ballinger, McGill University, The Canadian Modern Language Review/La Revue canadienne des langues vivantes,, ms in the one volume, and this book provides just that. The book has also been extremely well edited, and forms a coherent, cross referenced whole, rather than a series of unlinked chapters.

Synopsis
Immersion education serves as a highly successful pathway to multilingualism. This volume focuses on the evolution of perspectives and practices within language immersion education and showcases an international roster of scholars who offer theoretical perspectives, research reviews and empirical studies on teaching, learning and language development in immersion programs. This collection of studies and discussions represents three branches of immersion education, foreign language ("one-way"), bilingual ("two-way") and indigenous immersion programs. Each branch has its unique situational dynamics to address, and such dynamics must be carefully considered particularly in the interpretation of research findings. Nevertheless, the volume's co-editors argue that much can be learned from research and practices carried out in closely related immersion settings that experience similar challenges related to the delicate balance between language and content. This volume presents an opportunity for thoughtful cross-context dialogue and knowledge exchange., In this volume an international roster of scholars offers theoretical perspectives, research reviews and empirical studies on teaching, learning and language development in immersion education. The editors bring together research from three distinct branches, including foreign language, bilingual and indigenous immersion programs.
