Summary

"Bilingual Learning" explores the cognitive and professional advantages of bilingualism in today's globalized world. Challenging older views that saw bilingualism as a hindrance, the book presents current research showcasing how learning multiple languages can significantly enhance cognitive functions. For example, bilingual individuals often demonstrate improved executive functions, such as mental flexibility and problem-solving abilities, which are crucial for adapting to new situations. The book uniquely integrates cognitive, professional, and psychological perspectives to provide a holistic understanding of the bilingual experience.

 
It progresses logically, starting with core linguistic and cognitive psychology concepts, then moves to the cognitive advantages and career opportunities linked to bilingualism, and concludes with practical strategies for language acquisition. Furthermore, as the world becomes increasingly interconnected, bilingual skills are becoming highly valued across various industries, opening up diverse career paths for those who can communicate effectively in multiple languages. This exploration is supported by diverse sources, including peer-reviewed research, case studies, and statistical analyses, to provide an evidence-based perspective.

 
The book aims to engage a broad audience, offering valuable insights for students, educators, professionals, and anyone interested in language learning and cognitive science.

    Speaking My Soul is the honest story of linguist John R. Rickford's life from his early years as the youngest of ten children in Guyana to his status as Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at Stanford, of the transformation of his identity from colored or mixed race in Guyana to black in the USA, and of his work championing Black Talk and its speakers. 
 
 
 
In this engaging memoir, Rickford recalls landmark events for his racial identity like being elected president of the Black Student Association at the U of California, Santa Cruz; learning from black expeditions to the South Carolina Sea Islands, Jamaica, Belize, and Ghana; and meeting or interviewing civil rights icons like Huey P. Newton, Rosa Parks, and South African Dennis Brutus. He worked with Rachel Jeantel, Trayvon Martin's friend and key witness in the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. Zimmerman's exoneration sparked the Black Lives Matter movement. 
 
 
 
This is the account of a former director of African and African American studies whose work has increased our understanding of the richness of African American language and our awareness of the education and criminal justice challenges facing African-Americans. It is key for students and faculty in linguistics, mixed-race studies, African American studies, and social justice.
