This book offers a unique view of multilingualism in higher education from a global perspective. It presents a contextualised case of a multilingual language policy which takes the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach. The volume discusses various approaches to multilingual education including CLIL and then proposes guidelines for a multilingual language policy for Universitat Jaume I in Castelló, Spain. It examines the advantages of a multilingual education programme and reviews the success of existing language policies. This book will be an essential resource for researchers and students as well as policy makers.
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.
