This best-selling, easy-to-read guide provides sensible advice and practical help for families whose children are growing up with two languages, and for professionals working with them. It is packed with case studies and examples of how over fifty families around the world are coping with bilingualism. Every family's situation is different, but there is a good deal that parents can do to make life with two languages easier for their children. The trials and rewards of life with two languages and cultures are discussed in detail, followed by clear guidance on supporting the child's linguistic and cultural development. Features of this new updated edition include: new and updated Internet resources information on the specific problems facing teenagers, and guidance on how to resolve them; new research into language acquisition; discussion of attitudes to immigrant communities; and, new and updated first-hand advice and examples throughout. Written by parents bringing up four bilingual children of their own, "Growing Up with Two Languages" will help all those who feel uncertain about how to help children benefit fully from their bilingual situation. It will also be useful for students on bilingualism, language acquisition and education courses.
