Reviews for Language and Education in Japan
'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)
