This book fills long-standing gaps in Teaching English to Young Learners: it is research-based in a field that is often seen as undertheorised; it focuses on young Arabic speakers, an often neglected group; it takes a holistic view, exploring a variety of factors at work in the YL classroom. It is therefore a very welcome addition to the field. * Sue Garton, Professor of Applied Linguistics (TESOL), Aston University Birmingham, UK *
