...this volume is worth reading--it is well written...it is truly multicultural, and it addresses a range of contextual issues that inform how humans do and do not grapple with and balance conflicts between their respective home cultures and the dominant ones of which they are part. -Studies in Second Language These well-documented, detailed studies are highly recommended for graduate students, researchers, and faculty. -CHOICE There are at least 46 countries where elementary-age children officially are instructed in more than one language. Yet, few of us look beyond our national boundaries to examine educational issues related to language minority groups. The editors of this volume have helped to address this void by bringing together an interesting array of studies on the literacy and language development of multilingual and bilingual learners in a range of international contexts....given the richness of the descriptive data and the scope of international settings, literacy Development in a Multilingual Context: Cross-Cultural Perspectives is a volume that educators, researchers, and policymakers interested in multilingualism, bilingualism, and second language issues in general, and biliteracy and second-language literacy in particular, should read. -Contemporary Psychology
