TitleIs there an easy solution to Bilingual education in the Pacific?
AuthorLotherington-Woloszyn, Heather
SubjectEducation, Bilingual|Oceania
AbstractThe author analytically and coherently discusses that bilingualism in the Pacific is a consequence of formal education. For the vast majority of Pacific children, the languages they use in the home, community and school may all be different. By comparison, this linguistic situation is far more complex than in many metropolitan countries. Hence, given that bilingualism and literacy in English form the basis of school learning, it is important to try and find a balanced approach to bilingual education.
