The European Journal of Applied Linguistics and TEFL is a refereed
academic publication which aims to disseminate information, knowledge
and expertise in the broad area of applied linguistics. Strong
preference is given to contributions relating to second language
acquisition, EFL pedagogy, teacher education and classroom innovation.
This special issue is devoted to the theme of Teaching English to Young
Learners and consists of ten articles presenting the latest theoretical
deliberations, research and scholarship from institutions in the United
Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Croatia, Canada, Ireland and Australia, and
covers important topics in the field, including, but not limited to: -
Developing language in action coursebooks - Assessing the language of
children - Co-constructing metapragmatic understandings - Teaching
English in the inclusive primary classroom - Promoting a task-based
framework for intercultural learning - Mentoring EFL teachers of young
learners. This provides a valuable source of reference for applied
linguists, teacher educators, materials developers and practitioners in
the field of TESOL. The content also offers readers a deeper insight
into current issues and practices, thereby broadening their knowledge
and promoting professional development.
