Description
Bilingualism in Development: Language, Literacy, and Cognition This book explores the language and cognitive development of bilingual children, focusing on the preschool years. It examines how bilingualism affects various aspects of children's development, including language acquisition, metalinguistic ability, literacy skill, and problem-solving ability. By comparing the performance of bilingual children to that of similar monolinguals, the research reveals the benefits of bilingualism in selectively attending to relevant information and inhibiting attention to misleading information. The studies in this book provide valuable insights into the role of bilingualism in children's cognitive development and processing. The findings have implications for the education and social circumstances of bilingual children, highlighting the importance of understanding and supporting their unique needs.
