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. 410 0$aMultilingual Matters S. 606 $aLanguage maintenance$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.) 606 $aBilingualism$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.) 606 $aLiteracy$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.) 606 $aSpaniards$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.)$xLanguages 606 $aTeenagers$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.)$xLanguage 606 $aSpanish language$xSocial aspects$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLanguage maintenance 615 0$aBilingualism 615 0$aLiteracy 615 0$aSpaniards$xLanguages. 615 0$aTeenagers$xLanguage. 615 0$aSpanish language$xSocial aspects 676 $a404/.2/0994 700 $aGibbons$b John$f1946-$0622447 701 $aRamirez$b Elizabeth$f1961-$01029966 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450468803321 996 $aMaintaining a minority language$92446661 997 $aUNINA
