‎Bilingualism: Its Relationship with Intelligence and Academic Achievement‎

‎Kuala Lumpur: University of Malaya Press 2004. First edition. Paperback. As New. Although in multi-lingual countries more often than not it is speakers of minority languages who are bilingual there's often a hope that the majority language speakers might pick up the habit as well.

The book includes suggestions of how to bring this about based on the author's research. 128 pages. For further details please see the scanned contents page Weight 0.4kg.
