Product Description

Review

Suzanne has written a superbly clear and accessible account of the daily challenges of family life with several languages. Her recommendations are substantiated by extensive research and show great insight into children's language development. I particularly enjoyed the numerous case-studies of multilingual families, and I would warmly recommend this book as the 21st Century guide to parents of multilingual children. - Helen Le Merle


Product Description

This book looks at how families can support and increase bilingualism through planned strategies. One such strategy is the one person-one language approach, where each parent speaks his or her language. Over a hundred families from around the world were questioned and thirty families were interviewed in-depth about how they pass on their language in bilingual or trilingual families.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not always the right approach, 17 Jun 2005
The One Parent - One Language Approach is well defended by this book but I found it counter to my own excellent experience of both parents using both languages in conversation with myself and my sister. The point about attempting to be a bilingual family is to follow an approach best suited to the whole family situation. This book is trying to pursuade you of a single method. I would recommend instead that you read The Bilingual Family by Edith Harding-Esch and Philip Riley which offers questions to the parents about how they can create a bilingual family and find right approach for them. "The Bilingual Family" is not as prescriptive in its approach and I welcome that. I have colleagues who are married to persons from other countries, and I have recommended that they read "The Bilingual Family" rather than "Language Strategies for Bilingual Families: The One-Parent - One-Language Approach."

1.0 out of 5 stars In desperate need of a proof reader ..., 27 May 2008
By J. Vernaglione (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a language graduate and mother to two potentially bilingual children, I was very interested to read about the best strategies for achieving bilingualism. However, this book was so littered with horrendous spelling and grammar errors that I couldn't bring myself to read past the first chapter. This was a shame, as I am sure the content would have been both useful and informative. Surely a book written about language should contain a reasonable level of language itself. A poor standard of English will make the reader doubt the quality of the content. Please let me know when you have invested in a good proof reader and I will buy the next edition!

4.0 out of 5 stars worthwhile read, 19 Jan 2008
By tash "tash" (cornwall) - See all my reviews
I found this to be one of the better books on bringing up bilingual children and the one parent one language strategy seems to be working for our family (5,4,18m). I also liked the bilingual parents handbook (harding and riley) and raising multilingual children.
