LANGUAGE AND LITERACY IN BILINGUAL CHILDREN

Edited by D. Kimbrough Oller and Rebecca E. Eilers (University of Maine)

DESCRIPTION
This book sets a high standard for rigor and scientific
approach to the study of bilingualism and provides new insights
regarding the critical issues of theory and practice, including the
interdependence of linguistic knowledge in bilinguals, the role of
socioeconomic status, the effect of different language usage patterns
in the home, and the role of schooling by single-language immersion as
opposed to systematic training in both home and target languages.  The
rich landscape of outcomes reported in the volume will provide a frame
for interpretation and understanding of effects of bilingualism for
years to come.
