Introducing English to Young Children: Spoken Language

By Opal Dunn (North Star Language Teaching, 14.99, ISBN 9781907584510)

The author suggests that children are born natural language acquirers and users and that most can learn English if supportive adults provide them with sufficient language-based 'doing' activities. This book certainly provides a wealth of practical information and ideas to enable practitioners to fulfil this remit, including lesson plans, oral activities, tips for classroom management and a rich selection of projects and games. The lively text aims to be accessible to practitioners of all levels of experience and provides a holistic approach to successful English language teaching.

It is the companion title to Introducing English to Young Children - Reading and Writing (available through www.northstarelt.co.uk).
