Original language description
The term young learner (YL) can denote the foreign language learner in preschool through secondary school, although current research on YLs focuses on early language study in pre‐primary and primary grades, typically from 4 to 11 or 12 years of age. Given the increasing number of YLs who study English, TESOL researchers have begun to look more closely at issues involved in teaching language to very young (pre‐primary) and young (primary) learners. Topics under investigation include the teachers' training and background, the shortage of well‐trained teachers, the advantages and disadvantages of early foreign language learning, individual student differences, out‐of‐school factors, target language goals and assessment in early grades, research challenges with young children, and the lack of good empirical evidence on best approaches.
