Book Synopsis

The series will offer scholarly and scientific analysis of cases and issues and the development of theories on language policy that take into account qualitative or quantitative empirical study and thorough reasoning, and will emphasize the importance of language acquisition and therefore language education. Amara (Bar-Ilan U. and Beit Berl College, Israel) and Mar'i (Beit Berl College) describe and analyze language education in the Arab society within the Jewish state from its establishment in 1948 to the present.
