Biography
Sarah J. Shin is Professor of Education at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA. She serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Language, Identity, and Education and The International Multilingual Research Journal.
"Sarah Shin offers a holistic approach to concepts and issues that will enhance understanding of a very complex term such as bilingualism. Each chapter invites its readers to engage in a dynamic dialogue with newly expanded study questions, up-to-date statistics, and recent developments on bilingual policies. Bilingualism in Schools and Society is a must-read for students, teachers, administrators, policy makers and anyone involved in the area of bilingual education."
— Maria Villalobos-Buehner, Rider University, USA"Professor Shin’s first volume was a valuable and accessible addition to the growing literature on bilingualism and bilingual education. This second edition is both comprehensive and timely in terms of the breadth and range of topics addressed, including its focus on heritage learners and code switching. It provides an informative and balanced discussion of critical topics in the field. It also dispels common myths about bilinguals and bilingualism at a time when there is increasing interest in dual language education for all students. Professor Shin has succeeded in writing both a valuable introduction to those new to the field and an authoritative resource for more seasoned scholars."
