Vox, No. 4 (1990). (The Journal of the Australian Advisory Council on Languages and Multicultural Education [AACLAME]). Canberra.

Participants at the Eighth International Congress of Applied Linguistics in Sydney were reminded, vividly, that Australia is both a land of immigration and a multilingual country. The creation of the Australian Advisory Council on Languages and Multicultural Education testifies to the Australian government's commitment to the maintenance and promotion of the wide variety of languages other than English, some indigenous to the austral continent, some brought by several waves of immigrants, and some developed in situ (the pidgin forms of English in the Northern Territory and Queensland, for example). The Council publishes a handsome semiannual journal, Vox. The last issue (No. 4) contains a broad range of articles, some of which are more specialized and hard nosed than the glossy pages, striking typography, and full-color photography and illustrations would suggest. Of particular interest to SSLA readers would be: R. D. Eagleson, "Plain English: Simple or Simplistic"; M. Swain et al., "The Role of Mother Tongue Literacy in Third Language Learning"; B. Spolsky, "Maori Bilingual Education and Language Revitalization"; and no doubt the most thorough and well-informed summary of the linguistic situation of Spain readily accessible to the lay reader, by L. M. F. Arnold.
