This three-part book makes an important contribution to the area of multilingual education and policy at tertiary level. By contextualising multilingual education within the realities of a particular university, the author offers a rich analysis which takes account of local nuances, such as the preservation of a local language, yet also captures a global perspective through her comprehensive coverage of literature and thinking in this area.
