Introduction to Bilingualism

Baker, Colin. Foundations of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism. Clevedon, Avon, England; Philadelphia: Multilingual Matters. 1996.

This book introduces the reader to bilingualism. It covers many topics of interest including: individual and societal concepts in minority and majority languages; childhood developmental perspectives; general bilingual education issues, bilingual classrooms and political and ideological perspectives. I think it will help get the reader on the right path as to what the opinions are for what side. it is available in the Harold B. Lee Library.
