Teaching Langages to Young Learners

Cambridge Language Teaching Library

by Lynne Cameron

Recent years have seen rapid growth in the numbers of children being taught foreign languages at younger ages. While course books aimed at young learners are appearing on the market, there is scant theoretical reference in the teacher education literature. Teaching Languages to Young Learners is one of the few to develop readers' understanding of what happens in classrooms where children are being taught a foreign language. It will offer teachers and trainers a coherent theoretical framework to structure thinking about children's language learning. It gives practical advice on how to analyse and evaluate classroom activities, language use and language development. Examples from classrooms in Europe and Asia will help bring alive the realities of working with young learners of English.

Helpful to get a deep theoretical understanding of TLYL. However, lack of practical and empirical use.

This book helped me understand how teaching English to young learners work. It's quite comprehensive. The topics covered in the book are learning words and the spoken language, learning language through tasks and activities, language choice, assessment, theme-based teaching, learning through stories, learning literacy skills and grammar, theories of Vygotsky, Piaget, and Bruner, and issues around teaching children a foreign language. It offers not only a theoretical framework to comprehend how children can learn a foreign language and how teachers can provide opportunities to maximize learning, but also gives practical advice on the issues written above.

چند سالی هست که از شروع تدریس زبان انگلیسی م می‌گذره. توی این مدت دوره‌های متفاوتی رفتم و تکنیک‌ها و روش‌های مختلفی رو دیدم
چیزی که این کتاب بهم داد پشت قضیه‌ی همه‌ی تکنیک‌ها و بحث‌هایی بود که باهاش مواجه می‌شدم. الان می‌فهمم که هرکدوم از اتفاقات چطور و چرا میفته. فرق کسی که برای یک امتحان تستی درس خونده، و کسی که درس روکامل فهمیده،وحالا صرفا تکنیک‌های تست زدن رو مرور می‌کنه.

عرضها للمواضيع مفصل جدًا ومتعب. لاحظت إنها تركز على الجانب النظري بشكل أكبر، أذكر فصل "تدريس القرامر" فصلت بموضوع القرامر وتركت الفقرة المهمة "متى صغار السن يتعلمون قرامر" .
لكن الكلام التطبيقي اللي فيه جدا حلو
يعيب عليه قديم جدا جدا لذلك تعتمد على دراسات قديمة مااحصلها موجودة بالنت!
