at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Seated on a green hummock, his knees
drawn up, his elbows resting on his knees and his head supported in
his open hands, a boy sat very still and preoccupied, gazing
straight into the world before him, yet conscious of little beyond
the visions conjured up by his young mind. His were dim visions
begot of the strenuous times in which he lived, and which were the
staple subject of conversation of all those with whom he came in
contact, yet his shadowy dreams had something of the past in them,
and more, far more, of that future which to youth must ever be all
important. But this young dreamer was not as dreamers often are,
with muscle subservient to brain, the physical less highly
developed than the mental powers; on the contrary, he was a lad
well knit together, his limbs strong and supple, endurance and
health unmistakable, a lad who must excel in every manly exercise
and game. Perhaps it was this very superiority over his fellows
which, for the time being, at any rate, had made him a dreamer.
While other boys, reproducing in their games that which was
happening about them, fought mimic battles, inflicted and suffered
mimic death, experienced terrible siege in some small copse which
to their imagination stood for a beleaguered city, or carried some
hillock by desperate and impetuous assault, this boy, their master
in running, in swimming, in wrestling, in sitting a horse as he
galloped freely, was not content with mimicry, but dreamed of real
deeds in a real future.

Typical and Atypical Language Development in Cultural and
Linguistic Diversity brings together state-of-the-art studies in
both typical and atypical language development. Placing the topic
in the context of cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD), the
book offers readers serious theoretical consideration of the topic
and provides implications to the multilingual educational and
clinical practices. The content covers a wide range of topics
related to multilingual language development in CALD: typical and
atypical language development in CALD, and the interface between
both, the relationship between multilingual competence and academic
performance in CALD, providing unbiased measures in CALD, and
heritage and minority languages education in CALD. Each chapter
outlines the core theoretical and practical issues, and explores
both theoretical and pedagogical/clinical implications in the area
and possible future developments. This volume is an essential
resource for all those studying, researching and are interested in
multilingual development, educational linguistics and clinical
linguistics in the CALD context.
