Abstract

This book arises out of a conversation that began in 1999, when Piet-Hein van de Ven and Brenton Doecke first met in Amsterdam at a conference of the International Association for the Improvement of Mother Tongue Education (IAIMTE). IAIMTE is a network established by Gert Rijlaarsdam (the Netherlands) and Ken Watson (Australia) in a bid to break down the parochialism that inheres within Mother Tongue (or L-1) education, and to provide a forum for conversations (in English) across linguistic boundaries.
