Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism Reviews

The new edition keeps this classic most up-to-date at a time when the world needs critical approaches to the education of bilingual and minoritized learners more than ever. The inclusion of the latest cutting-edge research and the discussion of new policy initiatives provide a rich learning resource and open up venues for further studies. It is a model text that really lives up to its high reputation.

* Li Wei, UCL Centre for Applied Linguistics, UK *

With this edition, Foundations is uplifted to new heights, considering bilingual education not only from the theoretical and practical cornerstones on which it rests, but also from the stature it has reached. The intergenerational scholarly lenses of Baker and Wright produce here a most lucid vision of the possibilities of bilingual education when centered on people and communities.

* Ofelia Garcia, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA *
This seventh edition does an excellent job of presenting current theory and research on both bilingualism and bilingual education. It engages with perspectives that are now central to our understanding of languaging and details the evolution of the field's thinking about various previously unquestioned views about language. * Guadalupe Valdes, Stanford University, USA *

The 7th edition of Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism accomplishes its purpose of providing a comprehensive overview of topics related to bilingual education and bilingualism [...] the suggested further readings and resources at the end of each of the chapters are excellent tools and activities to spark a balanced and critical class discussion on the topics presented.

-- Margarita Huerta, Texas A&M University, USA * Teachers College Record, September 2021 *

Baker and Wright's 7th edition of this seminal work in bilingualism is a must read and must use for any researcher considering bilingualism or bilingual education as research objects. The book contains well argued, well informed, and well researched topics that bilingual researchers have at their disposal in one coherent volume.
