The Teaching of Additional Languages in Israel.

Hallel, Michael; Spolsky, Bernard

Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, v13 p37-49 1992

Describes the linguistic situation in Israel and the language teaching policies and practices in Israeli schools. Policy is dominated by the ideological role and practical value of Hebrew, and is further driven by the large numbers of non-Jewish minorities, the status of English as a world language, and the political values of Arabic.
