Over the past few years bilingualism has come to be seen not as a
hinderance to assimiliation but as an asset which, properly
nurtured, will benefit children's linguistic awareness, cultural
sensitivity and cognitive functioning. Bilingualism in the Primary
Classroom gives primary teachers a window on the experience of the
bilingual children in their care and by doing so helps them to make
the most of what the children and their parents have to offer as
well as giving them a good start in the National Curriculum. Many
of the contributors to the book are themselves bilingual and are
thus able to understand the children's experience from within, but
they are also particularly careful to show monolingual teachers how
they too can make use of children's mother tongue experience. The
book is based throughout on rich case study material of individual
children at various stages on the bilingual spectrum.
