Abstract	This is the seventh volume of the Encyclopedia of Language and Education. "Each of the ten volumes presents core information and is international in scope as well as diverse in the populations it covers. Each volume addresses a single subject area and provides 23-30 state-of-the-art chapters of the literature on that subject. The volumes edited by international experts in their respective topics, were designed and developed in close collaboration with the general editor of the Encyclopedia. ... Each chapter is written by one or more experts on the topic, consists of about 4.000 words of text, and generally follows a similar structure. A list of references to key works supplements the authoritative information that the review contains. Many contributors survey early developments, major contributions, work in progress, problems and difficulties, and future directions. The aim of the chapters, and of the Encyclopedia as a whole, is to give readers access to the international literature and research on the broad diversity of topics that make up the field."
