Main Article Content
Abstract
This review examines Manual de Neuroeducación y Neurociencias del Bilingüismo (Handbook of Neuroeducation and Neuroscience of Bilingualism), co-authored by Dr. Rafael Emilio Bello Díaz and Dr. Karen Bello Llinás. The book, published under the auspices of the Dominican Republic's Vice-Ministry of Supervision, Evaluation and Control of Educational Quality, offers a comprehensive exploration of the neurological and educational dimensions of bilingualism. Divided into ten chapters, it delves into topics such as brain-language interaction, the bilingual mind, neurolinguistics, and executive functions, emphasizing the intersection of neuroscience and language learning.
While the structure may initially appear intricate due to the breadth of content, extensive citations and rigorous analysis ensure its value as a reliable research resource. The book's depth and focus make it a noteworthy contribution to neuroeducation and bilingualism studies, appealing especially to scholars and practitioners in these fields.
