β¦ Synopsis
The new edition of Bilinguality and Literacy argues that bilingual childrenβs literacy learning in English is necessarily an intercultural process. Childrenβs voices are strong in this revised, updated and expanded edition and looks closely at bilingual childrenβs writing development in view of the Ofsted statement that βfluent bilingual pupils struggle with writing (2003).β Bilinguality and Literacy will be of interest to undergraduate students of applied linguistics, teacher training courses, and academics researching multilingualism and literacy.
