Nguyen, Van Huy; Hamid, M. Obaidul – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2021
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) has long been considered a global policy in language education. It has been borrowed and adopted by different polities across the world. However, it is still not clear why the CEFR, intended for European usage, has become a ubiquitous tool for overhauling the quality of teaching and…

Erling, Elizabeth J.; Radinger, Sandra; Foltz, Anouschka – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
The educational disparities that can be found in the English language learning outcomes of middle school students in Austria have gone relatively unexplored in international research.

Bamgbose, Ayo – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2014
Although development goals are usually set as targets that must be achieved in a development process, experience with development goals in Africa has tended to underscore underperformance either in terms of a shortfall in the targets attained or in terms of inadequate pursuit of specific goals. To illustrate this syndrome, the African Union's New…

Elosua, Paula; Egaña, Maria – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2017
One of the focuses of language revitalisation policies is to incorporate minority languages into education.

However, it is also important from an educational perspective to study the possible relationship between performance and…

Sherris, Arieh; Sulemana, Osama Saaka; Alhassan, Andani; Abudu, Grace; Karim, Abdul-Rahaman – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2014

Because of this, children may never learn to read and write. One solution is a complementary education programme (CEP) that…

This could lead to a grasping of the economic and social class dimensions of bilingualism in current urbanization and…
