This volume addresses a gamut of questions of interest to teachers
of young second language learners. Why do immigrant children leave
their home countries, and what are their journeys to the United
States like? How do young children adjust to the new culture? What
sort of dynamic prevails in immigrant families? What are young
immigrants' schooling experiences like? What are language learning
processes like in young children? The first part of the book
contains an overview of recent ethnographic, sociological, and
psycholinguistic research concerned with answering these questions.
The second half of the volume focuses on classroom practice. Gordon
provides an extensive overview of activities that have been proven
to be effective with young language learners. Practical
recommendations contained in these pages flow directly from the
classroom. Gordon describes innovative second language lessons
developed and implemented by ESL teachers who work with language
learners enrolled in primary grades. The book places special
emphasis on those instructional strategies that stir young language
learners' interest while stimulating their linguistic and cognitive
development.
