Language Strategies for Bilingual Families

[Kathryn King]

Dear Nitya and all
As the publisher of the book, may I be permitted to advise that the book
does include 2 chapters on other strategies for language use within the
family and concludes with suggestions of how the OPOL can be adapted for
use in the 21st century.
We also publish "A Parents' & Teachers guide to bilingualism" by Colin
Baker which includes a discussion of other strategies besides OPOL.
Further details on both books can be found on our website
www.multilingual-matters.com where they can both be ordered at 20%
discount (sorry for the plug!).
Hope this helps.
