McPake, Joanna; McLeod, Wilson; O'Hanlon, Fiona; Fassetta, Giovanna; Wilson, Mona – Language Policy, 2017
Education through the medium of a minoritised language is widely regarded as a critical component of language revitalisation initiatives.

Teaching minority language implies bilingual education because it is not about replacing the majority language, but to come 'alongside' or at 'equal footing'. The cases of Basque and Frisian, comparing…

Andrews, Paul; Diego-Mantecón, Jose – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2015
Much comparative research into education-related beliefs has exploited questionnaires developed in one culture for use in another.
