TEACHING ENGLISH TO CHILDREN - INTERACTIVITY AN...

This book focuses on teaching English as a FL to young learners in the Primary school. Set
within a Vygotskian framework  it describes a longitudinal classroom-based research project
carried out in Spain with children aged between 8 and 10. After reviewing related literature
from the fields of SLA and educational psychology  the teacher-student interaction is analysed
on two different levels: Firstly  an Activity Classification System designed by the authors is
used to trace the development of the classroom activity within topic-based units and secondly 
a more finely-grained analysis of the discourse reveals the different types of strategies
through which the teacher mediates and guides the children's learning. This book is of interest
to EFL teachers  teacher trainers and student teachers at the primary level  since it offers
both theoretical reflection and methodological insights for all those involved in teaching
English to children.
