Abstract:

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.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
