One Child, Two Languages

The new edition of this accessible book for early childhood educators includes updated research and a greatly expanded chapter on assessment and highlights cultural diversity. It also includes a new tool for monitoring children's progress as they learn English as a second language. Updated from the first edition and written expressly for teachers, this highly readable resource moves beyond the basics of child development to describe the natural progression of second-language acquisition in young children. Teachers will learn how to create a supportive classroom environment for second-language learners with effective ways to measure progress, address individual differences, and work with parents while acknowledging the importance of children's home language and cultures.
