Un percorso di accostamento precoce al bilinguismo in ambito formativo

Il modello e gli strumenti utilizzati

The advantages of teaching a foreign language from an early age has been demonstrated in the past years. However, only few schools in Italy offer bilingual programmes. Early bilingual childhood education represents a significant opportunity for the personal development of the child and for the quality of his/her language competence. This paper describes a model used to teach a foreign language to very young learners (aged 0-6) in schools and it presents and discusses some documents which have been devised in order to gather information about this model.
