Summary:
This book provides the first comprehensive overview of young children's
language learning in pre-primary and primary education. It collates
research to date on language development and pedagogy among children
learning a language in addition to their home language(s) in instructional
settings, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the topic and
directions for further study. The book promotes a learner-centered approach
to research and teaching and encourages critical reflection on how best to
conduct research among children. It recognizes the substantial diversity of
young language learning experiences and pays attention to individual
differences and variability in children's language development, embracing
an ecological perspective sensitive to contextual factors. Closing the gap
between research and practice, each chapter opens with pedagogical or
policy-related questions, explores relevant theories and research findings
from instructed second language acquisition, and offers discussion
questions and recommended reading for further reflection and study. This
will be invaluable reading for all those who are undertaking research and
working with young language learners.
