Virginia Gathercole knows bilingualism from her own studies as an American in Spain and her long residence in the bilingual communities of South Florida and North Wales. She has also done first-rate studies to understand what development looks like in one and more than one language. So she is the perfect person to bring the two topics together as editor of and major contributor to this wide-ranging volume. Gathercole's incisive intellect and immense practicality shine through every page.
(Barbara Zurer Pearson, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA)To assess the linguistic skills of bilingual children using tests developed with monolinguals can be fundamentally misleading. The new volume edited by Virginia C. Mueller Gathercole exposes this key fact, and provides a many-faceted exploration of ways to address assessment in bilinguals more productively. A volume for everyone interested in bilingualism.
(D. Kimbrough Oller, The University of Memphis, USA)This edited volume raises an important issue of testing bilinguals in educational settings. The issue is not only theoretical, as the tests in their current form may both hurt bilingual students’ academic opportunities and prevent specialists from noticing language impairments in bilingual children. The volume is of great value for researchers, educators, and education policy makers. It should definitely be used in teachers’ education programs around the world to raise their awareness of multilingualism.
