Hi, everyone,
The effect of foreign language learning in elementary school has been a controversial issue for decades in China as well as in other countries where English is not the first language. Educators and researchers hold different view about the degree of importance the critical period hypotheses plays in second language learning. Indeed, it has wider attention since the Beijing Educational Committee decided to include foreign language as a compulsory course for the elementary students from the first grade that was implemented in the fall of 2005. Therefore, I plan to make a study on the effect of foreign language learning in elementary school.
Can anyone tell me where to find a literature source for anxiety in second language learning in the elementary classroom? Citing the book or resource would be extremely helpful!
Thank you!
