Documentaries on learner language, language learning, bilingualism

[Lynn Santelmann]

There's also a recent series that was on US public television called "The
Secret Life of the Brain". It looks at brain development at various ages
(infant, child, adolescent, adult, aging). The episode on the child's brain
(#2) focuses on language, with some reference particular language
disorders. It's available for about $20 from PBS
(http://www.pbs.org/wnet/brain/episode2/index.html or
