Discourse and Education, 3rd edition (Encyclopedia of Language and Education)

This is one of ten volumes of the Encyclopedia of Language and Education published by Springer. The Encyclopedia – now in this, its third edition – is undoubtedly the benchmark reference text in its field. It was first published in 1997 under the general editorship of the late David Corson and comprised eight volumes, each focused on a single, substantive topic in language and education. These included language policy and political issues in education; literacy; oral discourse and education; second language education, bilingual education, knowledge about language, language testing and assessment, and research methods in language and education.
