Teaching Young Learners English

Der Schwerpunkt von 'Teaching Young Learners English' liegt in der Vermittlung von Englisch als Fremdsprache an Kinder im Alter von etwa 5-12 Jahren. Der Band präsentiert fundamentale Konzepte, aber auch praktische Vorschläge zur Entwicklung von Unterrichtsstunden und Lerneinheiten, die dem häufig sehr wachen und aktiven Wesen von Kindern im entsprechenden Alter angemessen sind. Im Teacher to Teacher-Teil eines jeden Kapitels bietet 'Teaching Young Learners English' eine Reihe von Erkenntnissen und Vorschlägen praktizierender LehrerInnen aus einem internationalen Umfeld. Weiterhin gibt es zu jedem Kapitel eine Muster-Unterrichtsstunde mit ausführlicher Anleitung. Damit ist dieser Band eine ideale Grundlage für angehende Lehrkräfte. Er ist ebenso sehr gut geeignet für die Weiterbildung von LehrerInnen, die einen Neueinstieg in den Unterricht von Kindern planen und sich hierfür grundlegendes Wissen aneignen wollen. Teaching Young Learners English focuses on teaching English as a foreign language to children aged 5-12. It presents foundational concepts, best practices and practical suggestions on how to develop lessons and activities for the energetic and curious minds of young learners in the 21st Century classroom. It also features the perspectives and suggestions from practicing teachers around the world, and can be used as a basic text for prospective teachers or as a professional development tool for teachers and administrators wishing to develop the knowledge and skills to teach English to young learners.
