Language Proficiency, Biliteracy and French Immersion.
Cummins, Jim
Canadian Journal of Education, v8 n2 p117-38 1983
Reviews impact of Canadian French immersion research on theoretical conceptions of bilingualism and biliteracy and identifies four major issues: effects of bilingualism on children's cognitive and academic development; effects of intensity of school exposure to the second language; the "optimal age" issue; and the suitability of a home-school language switch.
