Description: Assessing Multilingual ChildrenDisentangling Bilingualism from Language Impairment Author(s): Sharon Armon-Lotem, Jan de Jong, Natalia Meir Format: Hardback Publisher: Channel View Publications Ltd, United Kingdom Imprint: Multilingual Matters ISBN-13: 9781783093120, 978-1783093120 Synopsis Second language learners often produce language forms resembling those of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). At present, professionals working in language assessment and education have only limited diagnostic instruments to distinguish language impaired migrant children from those who will eventually catch up with their monolingual peers. This book presents a comprehensive set of tools for assessing the linguistic abilities of bilingual children. It aims to disentangle effects of bilingualism from those of SLI, making use of both models of bilingualism and models of language impairment. The book's methods-oriented focus will make it an essential handbook for practitioners who look for measures which could be adapted to a variety of languages in diverse communities, as well as academic researchers.
