<div>Although it doesn’t give many details on language instruction, maybe some of you will find something of interest in a brochure on immigrant education that I picked up during a visit to Finland. Anecdotally, on the flight on the way back I sat next to a
young black Finnish woman who reported being literate in both Finnish and Somali :)</div>

<div>I hope this link for downloading the brochure works:</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">I am in the process of designing a Master's level graduate course that focuses on bilingual development in early childhood. The course will focus on two major themes: (1) processes of child bilingual development,
