  • The author's goal in this book (see record 2003-04866-000) is to show that the linguistic and cognitive processing skills that young people demonstrate when they interpret are part of what it means to be gifted and that this giftedness needs to be measured, nurtured, and developed with Latino immigrant students. There are formidable challenges to accomplishing this goal: (a) traditional definitions and constructs of giftedness do not include bilingual performance; (b) there is confusion about what "bilingualism" means and a general understanding that bilingualism is a limiting condition rather than a talent or skill; (c) there are few mechanisms in place for identifying interpreting skills of bilingual young people; (d) Latino--and especially Mexican--children are significantly underrepresented in gifted programs, and many researchers and educators who work in gifted education have limited experience with recently arrived immigrant students; and (e) even if researchers and educators expanded their understandings of giftedness, the general public needs to be convinced that immigrant students might be gifted and included in gifted programs. This book seeks to address these challenges and suggests actions to be taken. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
