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.
