Aimed at language professionals who come into contact with bilingual children, such as teachers and speech language therapists, this book(in its second edition) provides a clear and accessible overview of the latest research in bilingual first language acquisition and child second language acquisition. The first chapter introduces profiles of various children which are used to guide the reader through the relevant issues, including diagnosing disorders. The discussion focuses on examples set in North America, but the issues are applicable elsewhere. The authors, all based in Canada, are well-known experts in the field.
