The Growth of Multilingualism and the Need for Bilingual Education: What Do We Know So Far?

Waggoner, Dorothy

Bilingual Research Journal, v17 n1-2 p1-12 Win-Spr 1993

During the 1980s, the number of home speakers of non-English languages (HSNEL) increased much more than monolinqual English speakers. School-age HSNEL are a growing proportion of the total school-age population. Advocates for language minorities should inform themselves on the meaning, limitations, and implications of available information. Includes data on HSNEL by language, state, and age group. (TD)
