This Element provides an overview of research focusing on language
teaching practices for young multilingual learners in primary
classrooms in English-speaking contexts. The term 'young
multilingual learner' refers to primary school children, with ages
ranging from approximately 5 to 12 years old at various English
language proficiency levels. Pedagogy-informed research studies
conducted in K-5 classrooms are used to develop research-informed
pedagogies for young multilingual learners in primary classrooms.
The authors use the notion of culturally sustaining teaching
practices to provide examples from pedagogy-informed research
studies. The focus on early (K-3) and intermediate (4-5) grades
provides a range of illustrations of such practices. The Element
concludes with implications for teacher education and the
preparation of teachers of young multilingual learners.
