Bilingualism and the ESL Student.

Cummins, Jim

TESL Talk, v11 n1 p8-13 Win 1980

Research Studies reveal that the development of native language proficiency and full bilingualism enhances rather than impedes the education and personal development of minority children. Teachers of language and all subjects should cooperate in promoting native language proficiency and encouraging its use at home. (PMJ)
