Documentaries on learner language, language learning, bilingualism

[Anne Kolatsis]

One that provides a good introduction is the second video, "The Language of
Being" in the series called, "A Baby's World". It was put out by The
Discovery Channel in 1994 and is distributed by Discovery Enterprises
Group, Bethseda, MD, 20814. The series consultant is Professor
Karmiloff-Smith. Undergrads love this one.
