Educating children and leading them towards the path of
bilingualism is a valuable and challenging task for any educator.
Effective language teaching can contribute to young learners'
cognitive growth, develop their problem-solving skills, enhance
their comprehension abilities, and provide children with the
satisfaction of succeeding in the challenge of learning a foreign
language. All these issues must be taken under consideration when
researching children and their teachers. The current literature
indicates that further material is needed to provide professionals
with different classroom situations and enhance the art of teaching
children. Teaching Practices and Equitable Learning in Children's
Language Education focuses on various perspectives of efficient
practices, approaches, and ideas for professional development in
the field of young language learners. The chapters in this book
link the theoretical understanding and practical experience of
teaching children languages by concentrating on teaching practices,
material design, classroom management, reading, speaking, writing,
and more. This book is designed for inservice and preservice
teachers, administrators, teacher educators, practitioners,
stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in
the field of early language learning and applied linguistics at
large.
The use of technological tools to foster language development has
led to advances in language methodologies and changed the approach
towards language instruction. The tendency towards developing more
autonomous learners has emphasized the need for technological tools
that could contribute to this shift in foreign language learning.
Computer-assisted language learning and mobile-assisted language
learning have greatly collaborated to foster language instruction
out of the classroom environment, offering possibilities for
distance learning and expanding in-class time. Recent Tools for
Computer- and Mobile-Assisted Foreign Language Learning is a
scholarly research book that explores current strategies for
foreign language learning through the use of technology and
introduces new technological tools and evaluates existing ones that
foster language development. Highlighting a wide array of topics
such as gamification, mobile technologies, and virtual reality,
this book is essential for language educators, educational software
developers, IT consultants, K-20 institutions, principals,
professionals, academicians, researchers, curriculum designers, and
students.
