Summary

"Based on the author's ethnographic study, this book examines the experiences of three four-year-old bilingual children as they begin school in three English nursery classes. It thus provides insights into young children's use of first languages as well as English, so gives a fuller and richer picture of bilingual children's learning."--BOOK JACKET.
