Extract

A variety of factors will converge during the latter part of the 1980s which lend urgency to the need to continue to implement a series of research agendas within the broad domain of bilingualism. Among these, changes in demographic patterns with the resultant movement of peoples across national, political, or linguistic boundaries; pressures toward universal primary (and secondary) education—particularly in ethnolinguistically heterogeneous developing countries, and pressures for improved foreign language education in industrialized countries—particularly in the United States—will lead us to want to examine thoroughly the array of factors associated with second language teaching or learning and with the personal and social correlates and consequences of bilinguality or language attrition.
