This volume is the first published collection of papers on the impact of diglossia and dialectal variations on language and literacy acquisition, impairment, and education. The authors are pioneering in this field and are leading researchers with substantial experience in conducting research in this area. A wide range of areas and languages are covered, including the US, South Africa, Israel, and various European countries. The chapters present novel data and insights regarding the role of dialectal variations on language and literacy, from a wide range of countries and perspectives. These insights have significant theoretical and practical implications.

A majority of literacy learners worldwide are taught to read and write in a language variety or a dialect that is not the same as their spoken language. Not only is this the global norm, but it is probably also the greatest obstacle to literacy learning. This volume is the first published collection of papers on the role of dialect in language and literacy acquisition, impairment, and education in a variety of languages and situations across Europe, the Middle East, North America, Africa, and Asia.The authors are pioneers in this field.

She conducted her postdoctoral research at OISE, University of Toronto, Canada, where she investigated reading development in bilingual English-Arabic children. Since then, she has engaged in intensive research on the acquisition of reading in Arabic and specifically on the role of diglossia laying down the theoretical foundations and the methodological grounds of this new field of research. She has published numerous research articles and book chapters on this topic and has co-edited (with Malt Joshi) the first Handbook of Arabic Literacy entitled 'Handbook of Arabic Literacy: Insights and Perspectives' (Springer 2014). Saiegh-Haddad has also been actively involved in curriculum development and educational materials writing for Arabic native speaking children. She is advisor to the Israel Ministry of Education and the National Authority for Testing and Evaluation, as well as the Israel Centre for Educational Technology.

Dr. Lior Laks, PhD, is a senior lecturer of Linguistics at the Department of English Literature and Linguistics, Bar-Ilan University, Israel. He graduated from Tel-Aviv University, where he completed his doctoral dissertation entitled 'Morpho-phonological and morpho-thematic relations in Hebrew and Arabic verb formation', under the supervision of Prof. Outi-Bat-El and Prof. Tal Siloni. He joined Bar-Ilan University in 2011. Dr. Laks specializes in morphology and its interface with other components of the grammar: phonology, semantics and syntax. He examines word formation processes while relating to different types of criteria that play a role is the selection of morphological forms, productivity of word formation and the absence of possible words that conceptually could be formed. His studies also focus on language contact, variation and change. Dr. Laks also works on diglossia in Arabic and the grammatical differences between Modern Standard and Colloquial Arabic and the effects of diglossia on language development and change, as an issue with a first degree importance in the system of education. Dr. Laks was a visiting researcher in The ATILF Scientific Institute ('Analyse et Traitements Informatiques de la Langue Française', UMR 7118), and University of Lorraine, Nancy, France, as part of the Chateaubriand Fellowship Program of the French Embassy in Israel, where he in engaged in a research project entitled 'A cross-linguistic comparison of word formation in Romance and Semitic languages'.
