The second largest ethnic group in Alberta, the German ethnolinguistic community has played a significant role in Alberta`s history, but the future is bleak for maintaining German language and culture in the multicultural mosaic of Alberta. This book examines the stature of the German language in Alberta by addressing the use of German in the community and the teaching of German in schools and universities in the province.
