Developed through symposia and conferences in the teacher education department at the University of Turku, Finland, these 14 articles address language in terms of the three closely related concepts. Among the topics are what a CLIL (content and language integrated learning) teacher needs to know about language, sociolinguistic practices and language for migrants in Germany, language policy in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the development of the Aragonese language during the 20th century and its present sociolinguistic standing, the linguistic ecology of the death of Swedish in Ukraine, and the contemporary Québécois novels La mort de Marlon Brando by Pierre Gobeil and La capture du sombre by Nicole Brossard. Three of the articles are in German. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
