Summer 2022 Journal pdf

Description

It is with great pleasure that we present to you a superb selection of research, practice and reflections on the topic of teaching young learners. When we first started fielding ideas for this Focus, teaching English in the early years to primary school age children was only going to be considered – this is an English Language Teaching Journal after all! The more we discussed, however, the more it became apparent that educating our youngest learners is much more nuanced. We received an overwhelmingly positive response from young learner educators in Switzerland and around the world indicating that those working with this age group implement a more holistic approach within the methodology.

This is the first time in ten years that this topic has been covered and we hope that the growing number of ETAS members working with young learners will find the following pages inspiring and encouraging.
