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).
