Recenzje

'The time for this book is now! It shares multilayered data from a robust research study and will contribute much to the literature and to an improved understanding of the education of multilingual students. Since reading the book I have found myself quoting sections in my conversations with practicing teachers, graduate students, and parents who are raising their children multilingually.' Lori Helman, University of Minnesota
