Rezensionen
'Language and Education in Japan makes a welcome contribution both to

critical studies of language education, and specifically to understanding

bilingualism in Japan. I recommend it to scholars interested in applied

linguistics, language education, and contemporary Japan.'

- Chad Nilep, Department of Linguistics, University of Colorado, USA (via Linguist List)
