Description

Product Description This book examines the evidence relative to the idea that there is an age factor in first and second language acquisition, evidence that has sources ranging from studies of feral children to evaluations of language programmes in primary schools. It goes on to explore the various explanations that have been advanced to account for such evidence. Finally, it looks at the educational ramifications of the age question, with particular regard to formal second language teaching in the early school years and in ‘third age’ contexts. Review Hult and King conduct here a masterful choir of voices that deepen our understandings of Nancy Hornberger's impressive contributions to educational linguistics. By providing diverse local grounding to global issues of language and education, these different voices are raised to honor Hornberger, choirmaster par excellence, in praise of her complex views on the continua of biliteracy, bilingualism and bilingual education, and policy for language diversity in education. The result is a lucid volume that will become essential reading in educational linguistics.--Ofelia Garcia, City University of New York, USA Hult and King conduct here a masterful choir of voices that deepen our understandings of Nancy Hornberger s impressive contributions to educational linguistics.
