This volume is the result of the presentations and discussions
carried out at the Conference on "Early Foreign Language Learning
in Educational Contexts. Bridging Good Practices and Research"
organized by the University Ramon Lull, the University of Bari and
LEND (Lingua e Nuova Didattica) in March 2010.At the Conference,
both teachers and researchers met to examine recent language
teaching theories and practices from a transnational and
intercultural perspective, on the one hand, and on the other, to
fill the gap in the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in
schools and to pave the way for a wider platform of discussion
between School and University. Since these two institutions have
often had little contact and, as there is excellent work carried
out in both, our attempt was to build more solid bridges across
their contexts, engaging school teachers in ongoing research and
bringing everyday classroom practice nearer to university
theoreticians in an open exchange forum so that the reflection on
teaching and learning becomes relevant and rewarding for the
participants involved in Early Foreign Language Learning in 21st
century contexts.Drawing on the main topics presented throughout
the Conference, this book has been structured around three main
thematic areas: 1) the Age Factor, 2) CLIL and Content-based
research and practices, and 3) developing intercultural competence:
use of the L1 and translation as mediation skills.Each of these
sections encompasses high quality contributions, all informed by
salient and recent research, clear and justified theoretical
standpoints and good practices which are appealing to an
international audience and setting.The editors sincerely hope that
this volume contributes to widen the field of foreign language
teaching and learning to include studies on young learners'
perceptions and performance. At the same time, they would like to
highlight the decisive new focus on language learning adopted in
the 21st century: the inclusion of a wider vision of language
acquisition, one that highlights the relevance of using languages
not only to communicate but, more relevantly, to mediate between
cultures, as a means to bring together the plurilingual and
pluricultural citizens of our future.
