Summary
This chapter begins with a historical overview of the development of languages in some Latin American countries, in particular, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico, and focuses on developments in bi- and multilingual education for speakers of majority and minoritised languages in the region. Followed by a discussion about policies and the development of bilingual education for these two groups, there is then a consideration of certain key issues such as globalisation, power relations, ideologies, and native speakerism. The chapter ends with arguments for implementing an integrated model of bi/multilingual education for both majority and minoritised language students.
