Young Bilingual Children's Perceptions of Bilingualism and Biliteracy: Altruistic Possibilities.
Soto, Lourdes Diaz
Bilingual Research Journal, v26 n3 p599-610 Fall 2002
A study examined 13 bilingual Spanish-speaking children's perceptions of their bilingualism and biliteracy through conversations, collages, and drawings. The children felt the usefulness of becoming biliterate to be embedded in altruistic helping relations with family members and other monolingual speakers. Identity issues surfaced for all the children. (Contains 23 references.) (TD)
