ReviewsLanguages and Children: Making The Match, New Languages for Young Learners, Grades K-8 is the must-have textbook for early language learning courses due to its pragmatic approach, current methodology, and understanding of the teaching and learning of young learners." - Anne Cummings Hlas, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire "For teaching elementary foreign language methods, it is the best on the market." - Fran Meuser, Oakland University "There are so many concrete and useful ideas, activities, games, checklists, etc. Having taught numerous teacher training methods courses, I know that students are always clamoring for more practical ideas; ideas/activities/tasks that they can use in their future classroom. This text is full of these" - Elvis Wagner, Temple University
