A considerable body of knowledge exists on second language learning but this work charts new territory in its focus on the experience of young children who learn in a home or heritage language other than English. This includes children learning in te reo Māori, as well as children with Pasifika and immigrant community languages. A central theme of the book is that early childhood educators can foster and validate the multiple languages children and their families bring, through thoughtful planning, pedagogy and practice. The book is based on research done through the Teaching and Learning Research Initiative (TLRI) and draws on the experiences of four very different early childhood education centres. It offers innovative strategies for representing and incorporating the languages and cultural practices of children and their families into the curriculum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Podmore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1927231981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781927231982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nzcer Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.35d","brand":"Valerie Podmore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453967577343,"sku":"9781927231982","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a7c953a-7c04-401a-864d-4c9acc53f4b2.jpg?v=1777303337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teachers-voyaging-in-pluralingual-seas-valerie-podmore-9781927231982","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
