 A
Parents' and Teachers' Guide to Bilingualism
By Colin Baker (1995).
"This
book must be read not only by all parents and teachers,
but also should be required reading of every
pediatrician, psychologist, speech therapist, school
administrator and social worker." - Ofelia Garcia,
Professor, The City College of New York.
An little great
readable non-technical guide that discusses with over
100 questions on the subject of bilingual parenting. An
essential resource for both monolingual and bilingual
parents and teachers who want to know more about
learning and speaking more than one language.
Especially wonderful is how Baker approaches
bilingualism/multilingualism as a birthright, a gift and
an advantage.
