How can foreign language learning be developed in primary schools? In what ways can it be integrated into the primary classroom? Modern Languages in the Primary School tackles these questions, challenging current perceptions of primary modern languages, arguing that modern languages should be fully integrated into the primary curriculum, and looking at ways in which this can be achieved.
In this practice-oriented book, Philip Hood and Kristina Tobutt examine ways in which language-learning can be made a rich experience for all. They offer ideas on how to start language programs in schools, or enhance those which are already in place.

Where Can I Find Good Materials and Information?
Where Can I Find Good Materials and Information?
This short final chapter is different from the others in that it aims to give you an overview of some of the important contacts (mainly internet websites) for both resources and useful information. The materials mentioned here are those more commonly used in schools, but the list is not at all exhaustive and inclusion of material is not intended to be any kind of endorsement. We have chosen to present the information in certain sections, but we do not imply any sort of hierarchy within or between each of these.
