ABSTRACTThis chapter addresses the theoretical and empirical
knowledge bases related to bilingualism and second languageacquisition in Chicano children. Research concerning bilingualacquisition has found that the linguistic, cognitive, and socialcharacters of the bilingual child develop simultaneously.Furthermore, all three areas of development are interrelated anddirectly influence the acquisition of linguistic and cognitiverepertoires. Research indicates that second language acquisition isinfluenced by native language linguistic structures and rules ofdiscourse, may be influenced by the motivation to learn a secondlanguage, and is related to various social factors. Educationalprograms serving language minority students can be differentiated bythe way they utilize the native language and English duringinstruction. For example, a survey of 333 school districts servingover 80 percent of language minority students revealed that the useof English predominated in 93 percent of programs, both the nativelanguage and English were utilized during instruction in 60 percent.and 30 percent reported minimal or no use of the native languageduring instruction. The remainder of this chapter overviews federaland state legislative initiatives related to the education oflanguage minority students, and policy and practice implicationseducation. Contains 98 references. (LP)
