<br><br>Annenberg Media (<a href="http://www.learner.org/" target="_blank">www.learner.org</a>) also has free Video On Demand<br>segments that you can down load. In it's resources on "The Mind"<br>(<a href="http://www.learner.org/resources/series150.html#" target="_blank">http://www.learner.org/resources/series150.html#</a>) it's got one older<br>
7 minute segment on the bilingual brain (from 1999), and I'm not sure<br>how accurate it still is.<br><br><br>Films for the Humanities also offers 1-2 older films on language<br>development (one called language development). The annenberg media<br>
site also has some (now older) resources for general cognitive<br>development/cognitive psychology. Those include some short segments<br>on bilingualism.<br><br>Lynn<br>
