“…Almost three decades ago, Trueba () encouraged interdisciplinary theoretical efforts to study the relationships among language, culture, and cognition to better understand the home and school experiences of emergent bilinguals. It is the study of these relationships and the contexts in which biliteracy emerges for children that is most likely to advance our scientific knowledge in this area of research.…”

The dual purposes of this review are, first, to synthesize the extant research on biliteracy, focusing particularly on children and youths and, second, to clarify key terms and phenomena in this developing field. The review is organized into three areas of research: (1) individual biliteracy development, (2) biliteracy in family and community contexts, and (3) biliteracy in the classroom context. Contributions from these various areas offer multiple possibilities for describing children's −development and maintenance of biliteracy while taking into consideration the interdisciplinary and multifaceted nature of research in this area.

“…The regrettable 'English only' movement, which seeks to amend the Federal Constitution to designate English de jure as the official language of the nation, testifies to the Englishdriven linguistic xenophobia of a significant portion of the population (Teschner, 1986;Macias, 1982a, b;Trueba, 1986). While Australia is moving toward some sort of coherent national language policy, language planning in the US has been done below the level of policy, through sporadic education practice, through such relatively low-level governmental agencies as the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and through the general procedures of the courts.…”

The Pacific Rim is more than just numerous geographical chunks: it is a series of polities and islands covering nearly half of the surface of the earth and representing almost half of the world's population. While this area is too diverse and complex to discuss all at once, there are two linguistic threads which wind around the region and serve as unifying links: Chinese and English.English is the language of wider communication in this century. It is the language of science and technology, business and commerce, transportation and communication. Chinese in its written form, on the other hand, serves as a medium of personal identity, of solidarity with a culture having an unbroken history of over 5000 years. The purpose of this paper is to show how these two links co-exist in a realm where English is seen on a spectrum ranging from the sole national or official language within a country to nations which do not incorporate the use of this tongue at all, and what the future of these two diverse methods of communication can be with intelligent planning and the unfolding of coherent policies.
