“…do children’s experience of learning two languages sequentially influence the way they acquire L2 literacy? Note that the theoretical distinction between bilingualism and SLA is deliberately blurred here, as the discussion draws upon both fields simultaneously, and some authors treat SLA as a subtype of bilingual acquisition (Butler and Hakuta, 2004; Ritchie and Bhatia, 2008). Thus, unless otherwise stated, ‘bilinguals’ can also refer to L2 learners.…”

While there have been reviews over the past decade of studies examining secondlanguage (L2) acquisition and also emergent literacy development, these related bodies of knowledge have not generally been considered together in relation to the education of very young English-language learners. This paper attempts to do so in a selective manner by proposing a preliminary conceptual framework for second language emergent literacy development, thus paving the way for future research. The literature on the emergent literacy of native English speakers is first outlined, followed by a discussion of the general effects of bilingualism and cross-linguistic transfer, with the special case of Hong Kong children serving as an illustrative example. Finally, potential environmental influences are explored, with a focus on the home literacy environment.
