Levine, Glenn S. – Language Teaching, 2014
The social and cultural "turn" in language education of recent years has helped move language teaching and curriculum design away from many of the more rigid dogmas of earlier generations, but the issue of the roles of the learners' first language (L1) in language pedagogy and classroom interaction is far from settled. Some follow a…

Substantial evidence exists that social circumstances can affect children's language development. As a result many children in socially deprived areas start school with delayed language, which may persist and adversely affect their attainment.

A total of…

Madhkhan, Mozhgan; Mousavi, Mojtaba – English Language Teaching, 2017
