Language Development in the Young Second Language Learner of English

by Deborah J. Chitester

This book focuses on early childhood bilingualism and second language learning in young children 0 to 6 years of age. Through the development of personal vignettes and short anecdotes, the author develops and demonstrates how an understanding of second language learning assists the practitioner and parent in unraveling the maze and enigma of the journey of second language learning itself. It is also intended to aid the reader in the understanding of how to best meet the educational needs of these young second language learners.

This was an extremely thought provoking book. I learned a lot about language development in young children and its trajectory and have shared with my colleagues. I look forward to more from Deborah Chitester.
