Working with bilingual children

the long version

"The teaching of English as a Second Language to minority school children has led to much educational and political debate. This book is concerned with the primary school education of such children. The papers consider how to help bilingual children achieve their cognitive and linguistic potential and how to improve language awareness amongst teachers." "The papers reflect the views of experienced applied linguists and practitioners, as well as advisers and teacher-trainers engaged in curriculum development and training."--BOOK JACKET.
