This work is concerned with the relationship of minority immigrant languages to mainstream culture, and the particular ways in which the institution of education handles linguistic diversity. Its main focus is on Australia, including a discussion of the development of Australian languages policy and a report on a major piece of empirical work undertaken which investigates German and Macedonian language maintenance in the Wollongong-Shellharbour region of New South Wales.
