Young language learners deserve a well-planned, age-appropriate, and communicative language experience – one that will develop their self-esteem and motivate them to continue learning languages in the future and prepare them for global citizenship. By adopting a plurilingual approach to language teaching and providing increased exposure to new language learning contexts, teachers and learners can embark on a language journey filled with communicative, inter­active activities which promote language use in the classroom and beyond.This book illustrates how to use the CEFR as a tool for planning and assessing early language learning and creating a learner-centred curriculum for young language learners. This fully revised third edition provides teachers with the updated and extended descriptors from the CEFR: the Companion Volume (2020) including descriptors for mediation, online interaction and plurilingual competence. The introduction of the pre-A1-level will make it easier for teachers to identify appropriate language learning goals for young learners and record their progress. This new edition includes a chapter for online learning, which provides practical ideas for online lessons and activities and discusses forms of online assessment.
