The text is organized into three thematic units - \"What is Language and How is It Acquired?\"; \"How Does Language Change?\"; and \"What is Literacy?\".

Pedagogical features: This text is designed for a range of courses in English and language arts, bilingualism, applied linguistics, and ESL courses in teacher education programs.
