“An easy-to-use treasure trove of information” for parents who want to help their children learn a new language (Deborah Tannen, PhD, New York Times–bestselling author of You Just Don’t Understand).
Parents spend millions of dollars every year on classes, computer programs, and toys, all of which promise to help children learn a second language. They want their kids to have the lifelong cultural and intellectual advantages that come from being bilingual—but many of their best efforts (and investments) end in disappointment.
In The Bilingual Edge, Georgetown linguistics professors and parents Kendall King and Alison Mackey wade through the hype and provide clear insights into what actually works. No matter what your language background is—whether you never passed high school Spanish or you speak Mandarin fluently—King and Mackey will help you:select the language that will benefit your child the mostfind materials and programs that will assist your child in achieving fluencyidentify your family’s unique traits and use them to maximize learning
Fancy private schools and expensive materials aren’t needed. Instead, The Bilingual Edge translates the latest research into interactive strategies and quick tips that even the busiest parents can use.

    parents see knowledge of their heritage language as an important source of pride and self-esteem for their child. They are right! There’s a lot of research evidence that children do best in school—and best in life overall—when they have a strong sense of identity and of where they come from. Many researchers have concluded that immigrant groups to the United States who maintained their cultural heritage at home—for instance, some Chinese and Indian groups—also provided their children with the strength to face challenges, and sometimes inequalities, at school. In contrast, total assimilation or loss of cultural heritage can lead to less successful outcomes at school.

    SPOTLIGHT ON RESEARCH:
    Building Friendships Across Language Lines
    In a 1983 evaluation of a Spanish-English two-way immersion program, researchers Cazabon, Lambert, and Hall wanted to see if children formed social groups based on ethnicity or language. Children were asked questions about their best friends—who they ate lunch with, who they would invite home, who they would choose to play games with, and who they liked to sit next to. While younger children showed some preference for friends based on ethnicity or language, by the third grade, children were equally likely to have friends from different backgrounds. Linguistic or ethnic differences were no longer a factor! After some time in the two-way program, students had come to value friends as individuals rather than as members of any particular group. In other words, children learned the very important lesson in life that what matters most deep down is not what you look like or how you talk, but who you are.
