About this book
This book critically analyzes early school foreign language teaching policy and practice across six geographical contexts. Criticizing the worldwide trend for a focus on English, it argues for a broader perspective that values multilingualism and knowledge of regional and indigenous languages alongside a more diverse range of foreign languages.
