"This book, which brings together several perspectives on language education, mostly from Western Australia, consists of eleven chapters. ... this volume makes a useful addition to the scholarship about language education. Some of the chapters will be of particular interest to scholars interested in critical education, language contact and language maintenance." (Achilleas I. Kostoulas, The Linguist List, July, 2015)
