A flying start! (YPF11) - revised and updated
Introducing early language learning

Peter Satchwell & June de Silva

A flying start! informs, encourages and supports teachers who are embarking on primary language teaching – as well as updating those who already have experience in the field. It presents a rationale for early language learning, outlines key aims and objectives, and suggests themes and approaches to learning at Key Stages 1 and 2. It offers help in planning a scheme of work with attention to progression, both within the primary school and in the transition to secondary. Examples of tried-and-tested primary methodology are accompanied by suggestions for effective activities. Teachers are encouraged to think about their own strategies and advice is offered on how to develop their own repertoire for effective classroom communication. It outlines the CPD opportunities available and where to look for professional refreshment, resources and support.

This book is based on Catching them young (YPF1), fully revised to take into account the National Languages Strategy and support the introduction of primary entitlement.
