Young Learners' Oracy Acquisition and Development in International Foreign Language Learning Contexts
About this book
This volume presents research on oracy development in early language learning, with a particular focus on the pedagogical implications for growingly plurilingual classrooms. The chapters offer empirical results from diverse international contexts which reveal common and differing experiences of teaching methodologies and assessment practices, learners' attitudes and motivation, and young learners' skill development processes. Together they explore the effects of language policy, collaborative learning and teacher intervention on the development of children's listening and speaking skills in a second or foreign language. The book will be of interest to researchers in early second language acquisition as well as students on EFL, TESOL and ESL courses. It will be particularly useful to pre-primary and primary teachers in multilingual classrooms and can be used in teacher education and professional development programmes to promote reflection on current teaching practices.
