Learning English as an Additional Language in Early Childhood (2nd ed., Clarke, 2019).

fkaCS is excited to announce the release of Dr Priscilla M. Clarke’s publication, Learning English as an Additional Language in Early Childhood, 2nd Edition. Complete with a new look and available for download as an eBook, this popular resource guides educators in supporting children learning English alongside their home language/s.

Language plays a central role in children’s development. It is largely through language that children formulate and express their thoughts. Using language children are able to interact with others, to interpret their experiences, to organise their thinking and make sense of their world. The most important experiences for children are those in which they are actively involved (Clarke, 2019, p. 2).
