Description
Language and Literacy in Bilingual Children by D. Kimbrough Oller and Rebecca E. Eilers sets a high standard for rigorous scientific study of bilingualism, offering new insights into key issues such as the interdependence of linguistic knowledge in bilinguals and the impact of socioeconomic status. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationships between language use at home and in school, shedding light on the effects of different approaches to teaching languages. The research presented here has far-reaching implications for our understanding of bilingualism and its outcomes. With 310 pages of in-depth analysis, this volume will provide a valuable framework for interpreting the diverse range of outcomes reported in the field of bilingual education.
