TitleNew Book: Developing in Two Languages: Korean Children in America, by Sarah J Shin
Body
From:
http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/enews/2005/0118.htm#newbook

This book sheds light on some of the common myths around being bilingual,
and explores the processes of dual language development among Korean
American children. Shin argues that the bilingualism of linguistic minority
children is a resource to be cultivated and treasured, not a problem to be
overcome.

Chapters include:

1 - The development of childhood bilingualism
2 - Koreans in the United States
3 - Methods
4 - Code-switching as a communicative resource
5 - Dual language development
6 - Pressures for language shift
