BILINGUAL CHILDREN'S LANGUAGE AND LITERACY DEVELOPMENT
Edited by Roger Barnard and Ted Glynn
(University of Waikato)

Key Features
· New Zealand has awoken to the complex linguistic and cultural
diversity in its midst, but has no national languages policy. This book
sets out the current situation and the key elements for the future
· The case studies present challenges for bilingual children's language
development which are common to many situations and will help teachers
make decisions for their students

Description
This book contains case studies relating the experience of bilingual
children in various settings in New Zealand primary schools. The
contexts include a Maori bilingual school, a Samoan bilingual unit, and
mainstream classrooms which cater for immigrant and deaf children.
Suggestions for educational policy, teacher development and research are
made.
