What Primary School Pupils Think About Learning English as a Foreign Language 330 $aModern languages are offered to young learners at an increasingly early age in many countries; yet few publications have focused on what is available to children in different contexts. This volume fills this gap by documenting the state-of-the-art in researching young language learners using a variety of research methods. It demonstrates how young children progress and benefit from an early exposure to modern languages in different educational contexts, and how affective, cognitive, social, linguistic and classroom-related factors interact in the processes. A special strength is the range of languages: although English is the most widely learnt language, chapters focus on various target languages: Croatian, French, English, German, Italian, Spanish and Ukrainian and the contexts include China, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, Poland, the Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. 410 0$aSecond language acquisition (Clevedon, England) 606 $aLanguage acquisition$xAge factors 606 $aBilingualism in children 610 $aMFL and young learners. 610 $aSLA. 610 $aSecond Language Acquisition. 610 $aage and SLA. 610 $aearly exposure to modern languages. 610 $aearly learning of foreign languages. 610 $aforeign language learning. 610 $amodern foreign languages. 610 $aprimary language learners. 610 $asecond language learning. 610 $ayoung language learners. 610 $ayoung learners. 615 0$aLanguage acquisition$xAge factors. 615 0$aBilingualism in children. 676 $a418.0071 701 $aNikolov$b Marianne$01465112 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777946503321 996 $aEarly learning of modern foreign languages$93724183 997 $aUNINA
