This book investigates the ways and the degree in which bilingualism affects language, cognitive and narrative abilities in bilingual children. The results of the research reveal the significance of biliteracy in the above areas. The book also provides research observations and classroom implications of the finds or the research.
"This book investigates how bilingualism affects children''s language, cognitive and narrative abilities. The data sample derives from 209 8-12 years old bilingual children, in three different targeted languages (Greek-English, Greek-German, Greek-Albanian) along with 100 monolingual Greek children. The children completed baseline and experimental tasks measuring their vocabulary, grammar, cognitive skills, and narrative production abilities. The outcome of this work reveals that learning to read and write in two languages is beneficial for the development of language and cognitive skills. A strong case can be made to the growing bilingual communities in Germany and beyond to provide literacy training in both languages within mainstream schools, afternoonclasses outside of the curriculum or in community schools."--
