Early Years Second Language Education: International perspectives on theory and practice - Routledge Research in Early Childhood Education 1st edition
Sandie Mourao
This book explores language learning in early years education in a wide range of geographical contexts with a focus on second language learning and bilingualism.
Marc Notes: The age for early language learning has dropped dramatically in the past decade to include children under 6 years old, yet very little published research exists to support the implementation of such programmes. Drawing on a synthesis of theory, research and practice, this edited volume makes an innovative contribution to literature concerning language education for very young children. It explores language learning in a wide range of geographical contexts with reference to second and foreign language learning, bilingualism and plurilingualism with children under the age of 6 years old. Biographical Note: Sandie Mourao is an independent scholar, teacher educator, author and educational consultant specializing in early years language education. Monica Lourenco is an Invited Assistant Professor at the Department of Education, University of Aveiro, Portugal, with a special interest in early years plurilingualism."
