| Summary |
The language young children use is the language they learn. In clear, practical terms, this primer explains how early childhood educators and primary teachers can support the efforts of non-English-speaking children in nursery schools, day care centers and classrooms to use - and learn - English as a second language. Loaded with ideas and down-to-earth advice, it's an essential guide to developing a sensitive, welcoming program for all the world's children |
