Features of this third edition include: * a dedicated website with new and updated Internet resources * a new chapter giving the perspective of adults who have themselves grown up with more than one language * a new chapter presenting research into bilingual language acquisition with information about further reading * new and updated first-hand advice and examples throughout.
