Oral language is seen as the basis for establishing the new language in young learners. Hence the focus on oracy in early FL programmes. This talk will look into aural comprehension and oral production of young FL learners. The study whose findings will be reported was carried out as part of Early Language Learning in Europe - an international longitudinal project carried out in seven country contexts. Over 90 young EFL learners from Croatia and Italy participated in the study. They were drawn from metropolitan, small town and rural schools in each of the two country contexts. Comparisons were also made taking into account the young participants' individual differences (attitudes, motivation, linguistic self-concept) as well as the differences in the contexts in which they were learning EFL (teaching quality, exposure to English, home support, SES).

Abstract
Oral language is seen as the basis for establishing the new language in young learners. Hence the focus on oracy in early FL programmes. This talk will look into aural comprehension and oral production of young FL learners. The study whose findings will be reported was carried out as part of Early Language Learning in Europe - an international longitudinal project carried out in seven country contexts. Over 90 young EFL learners from Croatia and Italy participated in the study. They were drawn from metropolitan, small town and rural schools in each of the two country contexts. Comparisons were also made taking into account the young participants' individual differences (attitudes, motivation, linguistic self-concept) as well as the differences in the contexts in which they were learning EFL (teaching quality, exposure to English, home support, SES).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
