Description

This collection of research studies explores the potential for mixed methods to shed light on foreign or second language learning by young learners in instructed contexts. It brings together recent studies from various countries, including Cameroon, China, Croatia, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Tanzania and the UK.

The volume reviews the choice of research methodologies for early language learning research in schools, with a particular focus on mixed methods. It proposes that this paradigm allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the evidence than other approaches might provide. This book will be of interest to teachers, researchers, policymakers, and graduate students in the field of TESOL and early language learning.
