Society is becoming increasingly multi-lingual and this presents
monolingual professionals, particularly those in special education
and speech pathology, with severe problems. Is the language delay
in a child from a bilingual environment a result of this background
or is there a specific speech problem? Is a child's poor
performance in school due to his problems of coping with two
languages, or does he need remedial teaching? Originally published
in 1984, this book is not concerned with second language learning,
but with speech and learning difficulties in bilingual children as
they are presented to remedial teachers, psychologists and speech
therapists. To this end the first group of specially written
articles deals with the patterns of language usage in bilingual
communities and the social and psychological factors which shape
these patterns; with processes in normal bilingual language
acquisition; and with the relationship between cognitive
development and growing up with two languages. Management issues
and methods involved in helping children with language problems are
also tackled: they include taking case histories, family liaison,
counselling, bilingual programmes, mother tongue teaching,
curriculum development and the training of personnel to work in the
bilingual-bicultural field. This book provided a great deal of
practical help, in a field that was relatively new at the time of
writing, and helped to enlighten readers on the issues involved and
assist in crystalising thought and directing future research.
