Early Years Second Language Education - International perspectives on theory and practice (Hardcover)

Questions are often raised as to whether the learning of two or more languages in early childhood is an advantage in terms of the academic, cognitive and social benefits it brings to a child. Yet, the age for formal school based second language learning continues to drop with very little published research existing to support teachers, teacher educators and policy-makers in this decision.
Drawing on a synthesis of theory, research and practice, this edited volume makes an innovative contribution to the literature concerning second language learning in very young children. It explores language learning in a wide range of geographical contexts and focuses on second and foreign language learning as well as plurilingualism with children under the age of 6 years old. Chapters present theory and research related to practice in teacher education, policy-making,
country case studies, school and home based projects, code switching and language use, and methodologies and approaches. This makes the book essential reading for researchers, academics, teacher trainers, and post-graduate students alike.
