Description
The language young children use is the language they learn. In clear, practical terms, this primer explains how early childhood educators of young children up to the age of nine can support the efforts of non-English-speaking children in nursery schools, infant schools, day care centers and classrooms to use - and learn - English as a second language. Loaded with original ideas and down-to-earth, practical advice, this book - widely revised and considerably expanded in this, its second edition - is an essential guide to developing a sensitive, caring and welcoming program for all the world's children.
