Abstract:

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.
