And Then There Were Two: Children and Second Language Learning

by Terry Piper

How do children learning English as a second language become bilingual? How do their individual learning styles affect the task? What strategies do they adopt as they go about learning English? What role does their native language play in the process? What happens if they have special needs? How can programs be designed and adapted to meet the needs of all ESL students? Dr. Piper answers these questions - and many more - in this practical resource for helping children achieve proficiency in English. Her insights into the language learning process will provide invaluable encouragement and guidance.
