It also tells the children’s story and the way they negotiated three cultures and languages and developed a trilingual identity.

It addresses the challenges and the unique language developmental characteristics of the two children during their trilingual acquisition process.

Book Synopsis Maintaining a Minority Language by : John Gibbons

Download or read book Maintaining a Minority Language written by John Gibbons. This book was released on 2004-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores two main areas. First, what a high level of proficiency in two languages consists of, and second, what factors can produce this high level of bilingual proficiency. Higher level language is usually acquired at school, but many minority language students are educated in only one language. The book therefore examines other factors in the development of the minority language, such as home literacy practices and positive attitudes, that might contribute to the development of high bilingual proficiency.
