The Linguistic Issue in Some European Bilingual Contexts: Some Final ConsiderationsTo say that multilingualism is the norm and monolingualism the exception has become a truism. In fact, the European Union is clearly committed to a multilingual Europe in which all its educational systems are advised to include two Community languages. It is in this context where this volume analyses the language use and attitudes of would-be teachers, as they will play a paramount role when it comes to keeping multilingualism as one of the key features of the European identity. There are four main reasons why this volume can make a contribution to this field of research. Firstly, it is a transnational study involving nine different bilingual states/areas which allows the reader to compare contexts that, despite sharing some similarities, do have their own peculiarities. Secondly, it considers not only the minority and majority languages, but also the different foreign languages. Thirdly, it relies on the same instrument and methodology. And last but not least, the participants will have an enormous influence on their different educational systems and on their students’ linguistic perceptions.Multilingual Matters S.BilingualismEuropeLanguage awarenessEuropeMultilingualismEuropeElectronic books.BilingualismLanguage awarenessMultilingualism404/.2094Huguet Angel1036200Lasagabaster David1967-1036201MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450985903321Multilingualism in European bilingual contexts2456396UNINA
