According to the United States Census Bureau report, at least 350 languages are spoken across the homes of America. Yet, the most common, and official, language of America remains English. What does this tell us about American culture? This comprehensive edition explores the topic of multilingualism in the United States. Readers will explore a variety of essays that discuss topics such as English-only legislation, multilingual students as assets to schools, the question of multilingualism as it pertains to election ballots, and the relationship between literacy and proficiency.
