Beschreibung

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.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This timely volume addresses the development of oracy in young learners, emphasizing the need to support speaking and listening skills in the classroom. Insightful and informative, it provides practical strategies and valuable guidance for educators aiming to enhance students' communication skills, while also offering implications for teacher training and suggestions for future research. * Carmen Munoz, University of Barcelona, Spain * Oral language skills are a crucial predictor of children's success in language and literacy, ultimately leading to academic achievement. Therefore, it is with great enthusiasm that we welcome this new edited volume, which offers a wealth of compelling discussions on the development of speaking skills in children learning a foreign language, making it an indispensable resource. * Victoria A. Murphy, University of Oxford, UK * This volume considers FL oracy development of YLs from several novel perspectives. It also offers insights into how different teaching approaches may cater for the new needs of YLs in today's increasingly multilingual classrooms, and how teachers can best face the emerging new challenges. Innovative research methodologies and thought-provoking theoretical discussions add extra value to the included chapters. * Jelena Mihaljevic Djigunovic, Zagreb, Croatia *
