The development of different types of elite bilingual or multilingual educational provision is discussed and an argument is made for the need to study bilingual education in majority as well as in minority contexts.Bilingual education and bilingualism ;35.Education, BilingualCross-cultural studiesUpper classEducationCross-cultural studiesElite (Social sciences)Cross-cultural studiesEducation, BilingualUpper classEducationElite (Social sciences)370.117/5De Mejia Anne-Marie1948-0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823255803321Power, prestige, and bilingualism4108015UNINA
