Handbook of CLIL in Pre-primary Education

Abstract

With the purpose of establishing solid foundations on which to base the CLIL approach in the early child hood stage, and in the face of the lack of research in this area of knowledge, the volume Handbook of CLIL in Pre-primary Education emerges. The book features a prologue by Dr. David Marsh, , widely acknowledged as the father of CLIL, and contributions from numerous prestigious researchers worldwide, which are arranged in forty comprehensive chapters, spanning from the analysis of how foreign language learning has grown in early childhood education to considerations of the cognitive benefits it offers or methodologies to apply it, all of which are consecutively arranged in five overarching parts: Theoretical Underpinnings, CLIL international contexts, Methodological Issues: CLIL Pedagogy Applied to Pre-primary Education, Resources and Materials and Insights from the Classroom.
