Learning language and using language to learn is at the core of any
educational activity. Bringing together a globally representative
team of experts, this volume presents an innovative and empirically
robust collection of studies that examine the role of language in
education, with a particular emphasis on features of
school-relevant language in middle childhood and adolescents, and
its precursors in early childhood. It addresses issues such as how
children's linguistic and literacy experiences at home prepare them
for school, how the classroom functions as a language-mediated
learning environment, and how schools can support language minority
students in academic attainment. Set in three parts - Early
Childhood, Middle Childhood and Adolescence and Learning in
Multilingual Contexts - each part features a discussion from
experts in the field to stimulate conversation and further routes
for research. Its structure will make it useful for anyone
interested in ongoing efforts towards building a pedagogically
relevant theory of language learning.
