Abstract:

This book provides a holistic overview of what leads to success in foreign
language learning at an early age and deepens our understanding of early
foreign language learning. The studies use an array of methodological
approaches to research learners aged between three and ten, as well as their
parents and teachers, in instructional, minimal-input settings. They describe
various ways of organising and promoting very early foreign language learning,
both through language policy and innovative pedagogy, and focus on ways of
providing input for second language acquisition, which include oral classroom
discourse strategies, as well as learner development of literacy skills.
Special attention is given to the necessity to develop critical reading
skills, the ability to handle multimodal texts, and attitudes, motivations and
behaviours and how these may impact on the teaching and learning process.
Chapters emphasise that ultimate outcomes depend on extra linguistic
environmental factors, such as parental involvement and teacher competences.
These include establishing control in the classroom, as well as using
appropriate strategies for Negotiation of Meaning, and helping learners build
positive self-concept. This book will be of interest to all professionals
involved in the teaching of foreign languages to young learners, as well as to
researchers, teacher educators and students working in this area.
