		<description><![CDATA[So last time I posted on the blog, I talked about how we know a lot more this year.  We&#8217;ve learned so much more about bilingualism and the positive effects of bilingualism on children&#8217;s learning on preservation of language capabilities for people as they age. At the time I wrote that I was feeling rather pessimistic [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=2languages2worlds.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5914701&amp;post=728&amp;subd=2languages2worlds&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most posts I&#8217;ve seen reflecting on the past year seem optimistic. And there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic. We do know more, and in the bilingualism area in particular there seems to be more awareness of the positive consequences of bilingualism. In aging, bilingualism seems to stave off Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. While the reasons [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=2languages2worlds.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5914701&amp;post=723&amp;subd=2languages2worlds&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Because it&#8217;s non-fiction, I tend to read it in fits and spurts and I jump around from chapter to chapter.

I have always enjoyed Tan&#8217;s writing and I have enjoyed this book very much. With her linguistics background she has great insight to her own writing process and to the ways that people around her use language.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been at least two articles on the SAT verbal drop in scores over the last 40 years. One article notes that verbal scores are associated with communication skills, learning, and holding a job. Indeed verbal skills are important, I certainly think they are anyway, it&#8217;s the focus of my research.
