Education as a Site of Language Contact.
Baker, Colin
Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, v23 p95-112 2003
Reviews the multidimensional research on bilingual education, covering contexts where bilingual children are in transitional classrooms as well as schools where curriculum content is experienced in two (or more) languages. Suggests that for bilingual education to play its part in language reversal, it needs to show its relative effectiveness, both as an educational approach and for language maintenance planning.
