  • Students Aged 3-6 with Special Needs Working in Second Language Environments: Exploring the Transferability of Pedagogies from England to Taiwan

    This action research study begins by exploring and comparing pedagogic strategies developed by teachers working with young children aged 3-6 years in English and Taiwanese early childhood settings, particularly those children with Special Educational Needs as well as an additional language. In its second cycle, the study goes on to investigate the potential for transferability of such strategies from early childhood settings in England to early childhood settings in Taiwan.
