Abstract

The appropriate education of immigrant students is the most significant issue of this global era. It is timely to expand new horizons for research on educational implications by creating a comprehensive corpus of research on theories and practices dealing with linguistic rights; policy options; types of programmes; structural change; implementation and engagement. Drawing from the extensive research on bilingualism and bilingual education, this paper proposes an expansion beyond official bilingualism to embrace plurilingual education. A possible research agenda is generated. Sets of research topics are formulated in each area of relevance to plurilingual education as the future of education in Canada.
