Language and Learning: The Home and School Years (4th Edition)
Once again, this comprehensive, easy-to-read book explores the way in which children learn language, the way language is taught to children, and how these two roads to language sometimes diverge–always giving equal treatment to first and second language learning. Piper tracks language acquisition, from birth through the school years, presenting numerous cases studies of children’s experiences as a means of illustrating stages of language development and the sequence of skills attainment. In addition, she thoroughly covers bilingualism, paying particular attention to the differences between second language learning at home and in a school setting. For ESL and elementary school speech teachers.

Rating:
Language and Learning is a well-written college level reading textbook. Piper is not the average dry and boring academic author. The text is quite readable.

This bool really helped my with my class at the University of the Pacific for Dr. Longmire. While the class was really boring, the book helped me understand everything i needed to know for thethe final. Lots of terminology and lots of good examples. If you want to learn about language this is your guide to success.
