Developing and Maintaining Heritage Languages --References --Appendixes --Author Index --Subject IndexImmigrant parents are frequently advised by teachers, doctors and speech therapists to stop speaking the native language at home so as not to confuse children with input from two languages. However, this view is not supported by empirical linguistic and social evidence. This book sheds light on some of the common myths around being bilingual and explores the processes of dual language development among Korean children growing up in the United States. The book sensibly argues that the bilingualism of linguistic minority children is a resource to be cultivated, not a problem to be overcome. In addition, it explores various educational, social and economic pressures which hamper intergenerational transmission of heritage languages, and discusses factors that contribute to successful bilingual raising of children in spite of these pressures. A welcome addition to the growing literature on bilingual development, this book offers useful suggestions for parents, teachers and policy makers who are interested in promoting the development and maintenance of bilingual competence in linguistic minority children.Child language and child development ;5.Bilingualism in childrenUnited StatesKorean American childrenLanguageBilingual competence .Bilingual development.Bilingualism.Child language development.Dual language development .English.Heritage languages.Korean.Linguistic minority.Bilingualism in childrenKorean American childrenLanguage.404/.2/08309073Shin Sarah J.1970-1208714MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810169603321Developing in two languages3914943UNINA
