Foreign Language Learning in Early Childhood.
Gallagher, Eithne
International Schools Journal, v20 n2 p54-56 Apr 2001
States that it is common for international schools to take ever-younger children into early-childhood programs, unaware of the possible negative effects of doing so without mother-tongue support. Urges schools to examine their admissions practices as well as the research available on successful foreign-language acquisition in younger children. (NB)
