N1  - "Contributors to this volume came together to discuss the problems and promise of African multilingualism at a joint meeting of the Annual Conference on African Linguistics and the Georgetown University Roundtable on Languages and Linguistics in Washington, D.C., in March 2013. As part of that joint conference, a workshop on language and education in Africa was organized by Carolyn Adger of the Center for Applied Linguistics. That workshop became the inspiration for this volume."--Introduction; Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-192) and index; Layers of language : some bad news and some good news on multilingualism, language policy, and education in Africa; Elizabeth C.
