Foreword by Fred Genesee McGill University, Montréal
The study of families and educators sustaining children’s linguistic resources is a novelty in current educational research. This book presents new research findings and combines these with compelling firsthand accounts of success and concern from families and educators, making its content pertinent to a wide audience of researchers and practitioners. ‘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 2015 228 x 152 mm 342pp 2 b/w illus. 21 tables 978-1-107-04244-5 Hardback £69.99 / US$110.00 For all formats available, see
