CHILDREN’S SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING: A COMPREHENSIVE LITERATURE REVIEW

45507

This study examines children’s second language learning process comprehensively through reviewing the studies focusing on classrooms as a social site for second language learning and particularly focusing on learners’ perspectives in these second language classrooms. The structure of the interactive classroom ecologies and learning opportunities in second language learning environments and how these interactional routines and opportunities shape children’s second language learning were the main topics reviewed. The detailed literature review presented evidence and suggestions on children’s informal language learning and provided a fuller picture on how their interactional practices were constructed and could be supported by teachers and school administrators in language learning environments.
