Summary:

As the number of young learners acquiring English worldwide continues to grow, the increasing number of teachers educating these students faces a daunting task. What theoretical perspectives, classroom approaches, and types of activities will result in lessons that are both enjoyable and beneficial to young learners? The approaches in Teaching English to Young Learners help guide teachers as they work with students from preschool to the lower reaches of secondary schooling, with a focus on children in Grades K-6. Emery and Rich provide specific tasks, strategies, and activities to show you how to establish the kind of reflective teaching that helps your students develop fluency and accuracy in the English language.
