"This text describes a particular type of educational provision referred to as "elite" or "prestigious" bilingual education, which caters mainly for upwardly mobile, highly educated, higher socio-economic status learners of two or more internationally useful languages. The development of different types of elite bilingual or multilingual educational provision is disucssed and an argument made for the need to study bilingual education in majority as well as in minority contexts."--BOOK JACKET
