TEACHING YOUNG CHILDREN A SECOND LANGUAGE

Book ID/图书代码： 05410008B20760

English Summary/英文概要： This volume addresses a gamut of questions of interest to teachers of young second language learners. Why do immigrant children leave their home countries and what are their journeys to the United States like? How do young children adjust to the new culture? What sort of dynamic prevails in immigrant families? What are young immigrants’ schooling experiences like? What are language learning processes like in young children? The first part of the book contains an overview of recent ethnographic, sociological, and psycholinguistic research concerned with answering these queries. The second half of the volume focuses on classroom practice. Gordon provides an extensive overview of activities that have been proven to be effective with young language learners. Practical recommendations contained in these pages flow directly from the classroom. Gordon describes innovative second language lessons developed and implemented by ESL teachers who work with language learners enrolled in primary grades. The book places special emphasis on those instructional strategies that stir young language learners’ interest while stimulating their linguistic and cognitive development.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 學習外語是提升競爭力的方法之一，但如果太過於揠苗助長反而得不到成效，學習是有分階段性及天份。讓幼兒提早學外文是否壓力負擔過重？這是所有父母及教育人員所應深思的，本書除了給予正確的觀念外，並配合整體學習階段與環境，提供有效的教學方式，給予正確的引導。(VL)
