The papers appearing in this volume are,with one exception, those presented in a colloquium at the Third International Symposium on Bilingualism at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK, in April 2001. The theme of the colloquium was the multilingual classroom and specifically the complex inter-relationships, interactions and ideologieswithin such classrooms.The idea for the colloquium was to bring together researcherswhose experiences ofmultilingual classrooms in a range of different sites varied but nevertheless shared clear commonalities. What all studies share is an exploration of the inter-relationships between an individual and her/his languages, and across individuals and their languages. These inter-relationships are negotiated through different types of interactions,underpinned by situated and ideological, cultural and political histories. The key issues of inter-relationships, interactions and ideologies are explored within an ecological perspective that takes into account the importance of the environment and the linguistic diversity which exists within that environment. We first briefly consider how language ecology has been explored in the literature and,withreference to this literature, provide the frameworkfor this volume.
