The age for early language learning has dropped dramatically in the past decade to include children under 6 years old, yet very little published research exists to support the implementation of such programmes.
Drawing on a synthesis of theory, research and practice, this edited volume makes an innovative contribution to literature concerning language education for very young children. It explores language learning in a wide range of geographical contexts with reference to second and foreign language learning, bilingualism and plurilingualism with children under the age of 6 years old. Chapters present discussion around teacher education, policy-making, international case studies, school and home-based projects, code switching and language use, and methodologies and approaches.
Early Years Second Language Education: International perspectives on theory and practice will be essential reading for researchers, academics, teacher trainers, and post-graduate students in the fields of early years education, foreign and second language education, language didactics and teacher education.

'This book is in fact densely packed with accounts of a wide variety of approaches to early years second language learning. For this reason, read cover to cover it may be somewhat overwhelming. Its format is well organised and its strength is its gathering together of so many significant research findings, making it an excellent resource for practitioners, researchers and graduate students to dip into. It is both comprehensive and accessible and offers a great deal of interesting data from a variety of research projects in Europe and beyond.' - Olivia Mair, Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, System
