Maguire, Mary

Comparative Education Review, v38 n1 p115-43 Feb 1994

Examines the sociocultural-linguistic processes involved in writing stories in English and French for 2 bilingual children, aged 10 and 11, in Quebec. Points out differences between the children in their views of play, schooling, and story creation. Proposes a unity of process across both languages that is mirrored in the writing of first- and second-language stories. (KS)
