Synopsis

Language Learning provides an introduction to language development that differs from existing books in that it traces language and cognitive development (together with the associated debates) from babyhood, through the school years of middle childhood and adolescence, into adulthood and the world of work.



Increasingly, the global trend is towards learning to speak, read and write more than one language. Language Learning is a comprehensive book that includes descriptions and discussions of learning more than one language sequentially and simulataneously.



The only book to look at language with a lifelong perspective, it is ideal as an introductory student text. Each chapter contains ideas and suggestions for students to follow-up and begin their own small scale investigations into language development.

Media Reviews
The book provides a concise introduction to comunication and would serve well as a core text for introductory communication courses in speech and language therapy and education departments. As such it represents excellent value for money. -- Child, Language Teaching and Therapy 20040510 This is an excellent resource for anyone working with language and language development. I would recommend this book to both pre-service and in-service teacher education courses in languages and linguistics. -- Dr Libby Limbrick, The University of Auckland 20040510
