Abstract：
Many infants and children around the world grow up exposed to two or more languages. Their success in learning each of their languages is a direct consequence of the quantity and quality of their everyday language experience, including at home, in daycare and preschools, and in the broader community context. Here, we discuss how research on early language learning can inform policies that promote successful bilingual development across the varied contexts in which infants and children live and learn. Throughout our discussions, we highlight that each individual child\'s experience is unique. In fact, it seems that there are as many ways to grow up bilingual as there are bilingual children. To promote successful bilingual development, we need policies that acknowledge this variability and support frequent exposure to high-quality experience in each of a child\'s languages.
摘要：
世界各地的许多婴儿和儿童长大后接触到两种或两种以上的语言。他们学习每种语言的成功是他们日常语言体验的数量和质量的直接结果，包括在家里,在日托和幼儿园，在更广泛的社区背景下。这里,我们讨论了早期语言学习的研究如何为促进婴儿和儿童生活和学习的各种环境中成功的双语发展的政策提供信息。在我们的讨论中,我们强调每个孩子的经历都是独一无二的。事实上,似乎有很多方法可以成长为双语的孩子。为了促进成功的双语发展，我们需要承认这种可变性的政策，并支持经常接触每种儿童语言的高质量体验。
