This book investigates the role native language plays in the process of acquiring a second language within a bilingual educational model. The research presented is based on a 2 year longitudinal study of students in a bilingual school. Particular attention is paid to the development of academic language proficiency. Performance in both languages was compared between two groups of peers learning in submersion classes in Germany and in Portugal. This comparison allows the assessment of effects of a given bilingual education programme. There is a considerable advantage found for the students who learned in the bilingual environment, both in written and in oral samples. These students developed a more proficient bilingual academic discourse ability; socioeconomic status and cognitive abilities were controlled for. When comparing the results with an external measure for school achievement, the advantage was confirmed. The results also hint at didactic factors which seem to contribute to this performance.

Dit boek biedt een uitgebreide inleiding tot tweetaligheid en tweedetaalonderwijs. In negentien hoofdstukken worden alle belangrijke onderwerpen in verband met tweetaligheid behandeld. De auteur hanteert een heldere, bondige schrijfstijl waardoor het boek ook voor niet Engelstalige lezers toegankelijk is. In de eerste acht hoofdstukken komen fundamentele onderwerpen aan bod die de bespreking van tweedetaalonderwijs voorafgaan en bepalen, zoals: Wie is tweetalig/meertalig?, Hoe sluit tweedetaalonderwijs aan bij het behoud van de taal van minderheden?, Hoe verloopt de ontwikkeling van tweetaligheid bij kinderen?, Welke invloed heeft de omgeving op de ontwikkeling van twee- en/of meertaligheid?, Wat weten we over tweetaligheid en de hersenen?, Heeft tweetaligheid een positieve of negatieve invloed op denkvaardigheden? De volgende hoofdstukken focussen op de vele aspecten van tweede, derde,... taalverwerving. Allereerst worden de verschillende soorten tweedetaalonderwijs besproken, gevolgd door een evaluatie van hun effectiviteit. Vervolgens beschouwt men de twee- en/of meertalige klasgroep: de belangrijkste kenmerken, de benaderingswijzen, de voornaamste problemen en moeilijkheden. De voorlaatste twee hoofdstukken staan stil bij de politieke en culturele dimensies rond tweetaligheid in de samenleving (en rond tweedetaalonderwijs in het bijzonder). Verschillende visies op de waarde en het doel van tweetaligheid/meertaligheid brengen veel voorafgaande onderwerpen samen. Het laatste hoofdstuk bekijkt het heden en werpt een blik op de toekomst met onderwerpen als meertaligheid en internet, massamedia, tewerkstelling, economie en toerisme. Op het einde van elk hoofdstuk werden praktische opdrachten voor studenten toegevoegd die door de docent/studenten kunnen aangepast worden naargelang de situatie.
