TAILIEUCHUNG - WRITING MATTERS THE ROYAL LITERARY FUND

Instructionally relevant research questions related to the transfer of skills also remain (August and Hakuta, 1997). First, is investment in first-language literacy training worthwhile for all combinations of first and second languages? For example, is it worthwhile if orthographies differ radically from English (., Chinese) or if the first language is a traditionally non-written one (., Hmong)?
