Produktbeschreibung
Teaching a second language to very young children... Is that a crime? Do their minds get overloaded? Do they get confused by being exposed to two languages? How about the babies who have parents speaking different languages, or those whose parents moved to a foreign country? Is there a common experience or a research that claims bilingual children have remarkable deficiencies? My work is intended to find the answer to these questions. In the first part you can read about theorists and researchers\' findings about language acquisition and bilinguality. In the second half of the book I introduce my own research, which was done in a Budapest kindergarten. On the one hand, I had a great time there, on the other hand, my assumption about the right answer to the questions above was only made stronger.
Autorenporträt
Barzsó, Bálint§I teach English and some other subjects to children of age 6-8 in a school. We meet ten times a week to use English. Every lesson I try to model the mechanism of natural language acquisition by using as many ways of metacommunicative support as possible to help them understand English. It feels great, when they actually try to use the language.
