                   *** Description ***

  This two-volume collection brings together papers first presented
  at the AILA Congress in 1987. In volume I, the overall focus is on
  the individual language learner, and how that individual develops
  a command of a language (first or second) in home and classroom
  settings. The papers in the second volume are concerned with
  communities and discuss both the nature of, and reasons for,
  language maintenance and shift. Papers were selected that would
  provide a sense of present achievement and future directions in
  applied linguistics, and will be of interest to all those who wish
  to discover more about this area.
