Richard Tucker and Deborah DubinerReviewsThrough its dynamic composition and well-chosen thematic aspects the volume brilliantly points out the necessity for constant reflection about immersion education in a complex world of the future.Siv Bjorklund, professor, Centre for Immersion and Multilingualism, University of Vaasa.This volume is a very welcome addition to the literature on immersion and dual language education. It has not always been possible to access original, recent, work on immersion, indigenous and dual language programs in the one volume, and this book provides just that. The book has also been extremely well edited, and forms a coherent, cross referenced whole, rather than a series of unlinked chapters.Michele de Courcy, University of Melbourne, Australia Author InformationAuthor Website: http://www.carla.umn.eduTara Williams Fortune is an Immersion Teaching Specialist and Coordinator of the Immersion Projects at the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition at the University of Minnesota.
