• Resumen

  • The paper begins by giving briefly some information about the main linguistic minorities in England, including the kind of sociolin‐guistic interaction patterns that are common. It goes on to outline the three major stages of response by the public education system to the presence of large numbers of speakers of other languages in English schools. The final section gives a critical summary of the current situation and poses some key questions for discussion.
