Abstract

The book "Innovative Practices in Early English Language Education" edited by David Valente and Daniel Xerri explores new approaches and strategies in primary English language teaching (PELT) and PELT teacher education. The book is divided into two parts, with Part I focusing on innovative practices in PELT, such as multimodality, intercultural competence, translanguaging, and digital literacies. Part II focuses on PELT teacher education, discussing topics like multilingual teacher education and dialogic picturebook reading. The chapters provide a balanced discussion of theory and practice, and include teaching tips, lesson plan samples, and references to practice guides and resources. The book also addresses the challenges of virtual classrooms and offers insights on assessment and teacher professional development. Overall, the book offers a valuable resource for teacher trainers, teachers, and student teachers in the field of PELT. [Extracted from the article]
