Lithuanian: The Lithuanian Language in Education in Poland, 2nd Edition. Regional Dossier Series
Niewulis-Grablunas, Jowita; Grablunas, Piotr
Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning
This regional dossier aims to provide concise descriptions and basic statistics about minority language education in a specific region of Europe. Lithuanian is a Baltic language that belongs to the Indo-European family. Most of the Lithuanian-speaking minority in Poland is confined to three municipalities near the Polish-Lithuanian border. Dispersed groups of Lithuanians also inhabit a neighbouring province and urban agglomerations throughout the country. Every Regional Dossier begins with an introduction about the region in question, followed by six chapters that each deal with a specific level of the education system (e.g. primary education). Chapters 8 and 9 cover the main lines of research into education of the minority language under discussion, and the prospects for the minority language in general and in education in particular, respectively. Chapter 10 provides a summary of statistics. Lists of (legal) references and useful addresses regarding the minority language are given at the end of the dossier. [The first edition of this Regional Dossier was published in 2005.]
