It provides a review of research associated with the socio- and psycho-linguistic, cognitive and socio-cultural dimensions including the cultural, linguistic, and social contexts of young children learning more than one language. It guides students' exploration of developmentally appropriate practices in the context of changing views, methods of teaching, and public policy with linguistically and culturally diverse young children with and without special needs. Discussions also focus on quality inclusive early childhood dual language and bilingual programs and engagement of families.
