Definition

  • The unifying theme in Bernard Spolsky's globetrotting life is a profound concern for the language rights of indigenous populations that began when, as a young high school teacher in New Zealand, he became interested in the bilingualism of his Maori students. His energy and commitment are well known to his colleagues. [Source: Encyclopedia of Bilingual Education; Spolsky, Bernard (1932-)]
