Abstract

This is a review of an edited book by Zein and Garton, titled Early Language Learning and Teacher Education, a collection of 14 chapters dedicated to the early learning of a foreign or second language. The authors of the contributions report different learning situations, analyzing their main characteristics and highlighting their strengths and critical points. These are mostly focus groups or limited research that describe very different educational environments, albeit concerning the teaching of languages to young learners. The review introduces the reference context and then describes the contents of the individual chapters, concluding with some considerations on the volume.
