From the Publisher
“As plurilingual education continues to expand around the globe, early English language education has gained considerable traction across contexts, yet, it has been scantily researched. This volume is a solid response to this niche as it brings together educators at the potent nexus between research and practice and it interrogates important issues from innovative perspectives. The editors have skilfully organised the contributions in such a way that children and (future) teachers occupy a central position.” (Dr Darío Luis Banegas, Lecturer in Language Education, University of Edinburgh, UK)
“Publications focusing on early additional language learning are burgeoning, demonstrating that the field continues to grow in importance and dimension. Nevertheless, there are many lacunas. This collection makes a unique contribution by fusing theory with practical implications, by covering topics which are unconventional, and thus advancing the field. It is an exciting collection of chapters and highly relevant for graduate students, teacher educators and researchers across the globe.” (Dr Sandie Mourão, Research Fellow, CETAPS, Nova University, Lisbon, Portugal)
