Description
Language coordinators in primary and middle schools must not only possess a considerable range of expertise across the language curriculum but must also be able to assist their colleagues to develop classroom practice. In this updated and expanded revision of the successful first edition, "The Primary Language Book" examines how primary teachers can tackle the problems linked to the design and implementation of school language policies. It looks in particular at: talking and listening; the writing process; reading; media and drama; microcomputers and language development; knowledge about language; liaison and continuity; and managing curriculum change.
