Recenzii

Virginia Gathercole knows bilingualism from her own studies as an American in Spain and her long residence in the bilingual communities of south Florida and north Wales. She has also done first-rate studies to understand what development looks like in one and more than one language. So she is the perfect person to bring the two topics together as editor of and major contributor to this wide-ranging volume. Gathercole's incisive intellect and immense practicality shine through every page. Barbara Zurer Pearson, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA To assess the linguistic skills of bilingual children using tests developed with monolinguals can be fundamentally misleading. The new volume edited by Virginia Mueller Gathercole exposes this key fact, and provides a many-faceted exploration of ways to address assessment in bilinguals more productively. A volume for everyone interested in bilingualism. D. Kimbrough Oller, The University of Memphis, USA
