Description: This book is targeted at modern languages teachers of primary school children and focuses on curricula and syllabi, as well as on teaching materials and methodology. The papers look into issues related to both pre- and in-service teacher education, innovative curriculum and syllabus design in tertiary education and lower primary schools, and how new ideas can be implemented at national and classroom levels. The first six papers focus on teacher education curricula and teacher development in pre-service and in-service programs, whereas the last four papers examine curricula, teaching materials and projects in primary schools.--Publisher's description.
Notes: Papers are edited versions of those presented at TeMoLaYoLe: Research into Teaching Modern Languages to Young Learners Conference, which took place between 1 and 3 February 2007 at the University of Pécs.
