Language, literacy, and the needs of the multilingual child
Abstract
English
In this article, I first take on the issue of standards and the degree to which they do or
do not contribute to the improvement of language and literacy outcomes for children
in multilingual societies. Then I consider the relation of standards to language and,
finally, raise the vexed issue of content knowledge and its relation to standards, on
the one hand, and to language, on the other.
