Recenzje

'Bilingualism Matters is an excellent resource for teachers, parents and researchers interested in bilingualism to access research from a neuroscience perspective to support their work. I will draw on this resource to advocate for bilingual programs, and to support my social science research with interdisciplinary evidence. I recommend this book to anyone seeking an accessible resource which summarises key neuroscience findings in relation to bilingualism across the lifespan.' Ruth Fielding, Monash University
