Produktbeschreibung

'This invaluable, research-informed book represents a welcome addition to publications in the field of Primary Languages Education. It offers clear guidance to schools embarking on the provision of early language learning (ELL). More experienced practitioners will welcome the focus on progression, assessment and cross-curricular approaches' - Jan Rowe, Liverpool Hope University

How can foreign language learning be developed in primary schools? In what ways can it be integrated into the primary classroom? Modern Languages in the Primary School tackles these questions, challenging current perceptions of primary modern languages, arguing that modern languages should be fully integrated into the primary curriculum, and looking at ways in which this can be achieved.

The authors examine ways in which language-learning can be made a rich experience for all. They offer ideas on how to start language programmes in schools, or enhance those already in place. The book:

- Features a 3-stage practical approach to teaching languages with different age groups in primary schools

- Develops a coherent view of language learning and teaching

- Refers to the KS2 Framework elements of oracy, literacy, intercultural understanding, knowledge about language and language learning strategies

- Contains a chapter which offers a theoretical introduction to content and language integrated learning (CLIL)

- Refers to the QTS Standards and offers a short guide to internet-based and multimedia resources

This book is for Primary ITE students and experienced teachers who are taking on the Modern Language coordinator role or teaching modern languages in primary schools for the first time.

Philip Hood is Course Director of the National SCITT Primary PGCE and Lecturer in Modern Languages Education at the University of Nottingham. Kristina Tobutt is a Primary teacher and Associate Consultant for Nottinghamshire LA.

Rezensionen

"An essential resource for all those who seek to understand more about the nature of learning, An Introduction to Theories of Learning provides the reader with a wealth of information about this vital characteristic of nervous systems: to change based on experience. Examining the contributions of such historic figures as Darwin, Thorndike, Piaget, Hebb and many others, no other text achieves what this text does: inform the student of behavior through the stories of those who have come before, and those working now in this field. Clearly written and well-structured with chapter outlines, summaries and thought questions, this is a natural text for adoption in psychology and education curricula." - Eric P Wiertelak, Macalester College, USA
