Bilingual Development

• refers to typically developing, normally hearing children

under age 12 who need to learn to communicate in more than a
single language in daily life, leaving unspecified to what extent
children are able to communicate in two languages.

Bilingualism is divided into three parts:

 Coordinated Bilingualism
 Sub-coordinated Bilingualism
 Compound Bilingualism

Compound bilingual: developes two language systems

simultaneously with a single context.
Coordinate bilingual: learn two languages in distinctively
separate contexts.
Sub-coordinate bilingual: learn the secondary language by
filtering through the mother tongue.
