INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2023

Interaction and L2 grammar learning by children in foreign language contexts: Form-focused instruction and individual differences

MEETING DESCRIPTION

Although teaching foreign languages in primary school is a world-wide practice, children aged 6-12 are an underresearched population and little is known about which communicative tasks help them to focus on formal aspects of language and facilitate their learning process.

This international seminar will feature experts in the field of foreign language learning in primary school in different contexts (Asia, Europe and North and South America) who will present findings from different experimental studies and draw pedagogical implications and applications for the primary school classsroom.

 

The workshop will be held entirely in English.
