CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOCIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE brings to students, researchers and practitioners in all of the social and language-related sciences carefully selected book-length publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings and applications. It approaches the study of language in society in its broadest sense, as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches, theoretical and empirical, supplement and complement each other. The series invites the attention of linguists, language teachers of all interests, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, historians etc. to the development of the sociology of language.

In-depth portrayal and discussion of dilemmas, choices and risks teachers and students must negotiate in a multilingual school. Based on a Canadian study but applicable for all teachers working with linguistically and culturally diverse students.

This text is designed for teachers of children who do not speak English as a first language. It explores the findings from a four-year case study of a Canadian high school with a large number of immigrant students from Hong Kong and describes how their teachers negotiated the issues that arose.
