This is a collection of teacher accounts. The stories presented provide compelling glimpses of a type of teaching that has rarely been described in a comprehensive way: teaching English to speakers of other languages (ESOL) in the primary grades (K-8) worldwide. This book reveals the variety of realities experienced by teachers of English around the world- and a level of common practices and beliefs that surface in extremely different contexts.
New ways in Teaching Young Children (Call no. O /2034/ 1996)
Linda Schinke- Llano & Rebecca Rauff, (Eds.)
TESOL 1996
Teachers of English as a second or foreign language to young children must impart English skills at the same time that they foster socialization; heighten an awareness of the self, the immediate classroom community, and the community beyond the school; introduce content concepts; and expose students to arts, drama, literature and music. They must accomplish these objectives through enjoyable activities that address the whole child- the child’s physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development.
