Spolsky (emeritus, linguistics,Bar-Ilan University) and Hult (applied linguistics, University of Texas at San Antonio) have compiled an impressive number of articles on language teaching and learning. Beginning with the foundations of educational linguistics, the book then moves on to applications. Subjects covered include, bilingual students, language acquisition by the deaf, preserving endangered languages, particularly Native American, reaching outside the classroom and language as a reflection of society. One section treats the different forms of language used by those in authority: governments and religious leaders. Another explores literacy, how it's defined and how it can be evaluated in a multicultural environment. This leads to the problem of how standardized testing can encompass differences in background. Finally, the application of these studies is explored with articles on the use of educational linguistics in the classroom. Teachers and linguists will find valuable information both in the articles and the bibliographies that accompany each one. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
