Abstract:

Research on Early Childhood Language Education – How we used qualitative and quantitative methods on our way

Our team is conducting research and development projects on Early Childhood Language Education for almost 12 years. A focus of our research is set on teachers scaffolding of academic language acquisition during everyday conversations in kindergarten. We have also looked into «Spielgruppen» practices and developed a particular method (videobased coaching) and teaching material (including a conceptual framework and a video platform) for professional development. In this coffee/tea & talk session, I will give you some insights into different project types and the methodological choices we made in order to move our knowledge ahead and to implement it in the pedagogical fields.
