Ytsma, Jehannes

International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, v4 n1 p11-22 2001

Discusses trilingual primary education, a growing trend in Europe. Develops a typology of trilingual primary education based on three dimensions: (1) the linguistic context in which trilingual education takes place; (2) the linguistic distance between the three language varieties at issue; and (3) the organizational design of the teaching of the three school languages.
