Abstract

Hickey's volume is a welcome addition to the already important body of literature on the immersion experience. This comprehensive account of preschool immersion education in Ireland provides interesting insights into areas not previously looked at. Although its focus is on Ireland, its relevance is universal and it compares the Irish experience to similar ones in New Zealand, Catalonia, Canada, and Wales.
