Continuing and expanding the long-standing tradition of the German FFF
conference series (Fortschritte im Frühen Fremdsprachenlernen = Advances in
Teaching Foreign Languages to Young Learners) initiated by Prof. Dr. Norbert
Schlüter and Prof. Dr. Heiner Böttger, this conference will bring together
scholars working in the field of teaching foreign languages to young learners
in the primary school context (ages 5 through 12) from all over the globe. The
purpose of the conference is to provide an international platform to share
current empirical insights into the learning and teaching of foreign (rather
than second) languages to young learners in school contexts. The aim is to
better understand the factors which contribute to effective and motivating
early foreign language teaching and to identify research gaps which need to be
tackled in the future. While the conference language will be English, research
on any target language is welcome.

 - Prof. Dr. Heiner Böttger (Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt)
 - Prof. Dr. Norbert Schlüter (University of Leipzig)
 - Prof. Dr. Florence Myles (University of Essex)
 - Prof. Dr. Yuko Butler (University of Pennsylvania)
