TEANGA Special Issue 10: Multilingualism in the Early Years
This special edition of TEANGA, the Journal of the Irish Association for Applied Linguistics, contains selected papers from the Multilingualism in the Early Years conference held in the Dublin Institute of Technology in May 2017. The conference brought together people from diverse disciplines such as early childhood education and applied linguistics in order to discuss multilingual pedagogies, research and issues. The papers included in this special edition reflect the conference's diversity and highlight the depth and breadth of this burgeoning interdisciplinary field.
