Conclusion -- ReferencesThis book calls for critical adaptations when theories of bilingual education, based on practices in the North, are applied to the countries of the global South. For example, it challenges the assumption that transitional models necessarily lead to language shift and cultural assimilation. Taking an ethnographically-based narrative on the purpose and value of bilingual education in Mozambique as a starting point, it shows how, in certain contexts, even a transitional model may strengthen the vitality of local languages and associated cultures, instead of weakening them. The analysis is based on the view that communicative practices in the classroom influence and are influenced by institutional, local and societal processes. Within this framework, the book shows how education in low-status languages can play a role in social and cultural transformation, especially where post-colonial contexts are concerned.Bilingual Education & BilingualismEducation, BilingualMozambiqueEducation, BilingualAfrica, Sub-SaharanMultilingualismMozambiqueMultilingualismAfrica, Sub-SaharanEducational anthropologyMozambiqueEducational anthropologyAfrica, Sub-SaharanPostcolonialismMozambiquePostcolonialismAfrica, Sub-SaharanEducationHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCEducation, Special TopicsHILCCSecond language acquisitionStudy and teachingLanguage and languagesLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCPhilology & LinguisticsHILCCAfrica.bilingual education.bilingualism.colonialism.language education.Education, BilingualEducation, BilingualMultilingualismMultilingualismEducational anthropologyEducational anthropologyPostcolonialismPostcolonialismEducationSocial SciencesEducation, Special TopicsSecond language acquisitionStudy and teaching.Language and languages.Languages & LiteraturesPhilology & Linguistics370.117 509679DP 4200SEPArvkChimbutane Feliciano, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1106280DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910957017503321Rethinking Bilingual Education in Postcolonial Contexts4450544UNINA02248nam 2200589Ia 450 991097476440332120251213110226.00-19-981372-81-282-91779-X97866129177900-19-981341-8(CKB)2670000000060972(EBL)618602(OCoLC)694088046(SSID)ssj0000421383(PQKBManifestationID)11274341(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000421383(PQKBWorkID)10412261(PQKB)10772616(MiAaPQ)EBC618602(Au-PeEL)EBL618602(CaPaEBR)ebr10432511(CaONFJC)MIL291779(ODN)ODN0004970010(EXLCZ)99267000000006097220100803d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrJohn F.
