​Introducing Literacy to Young English Learners
Hiroko Arao, Mie University
Maiko Kimura, Mukogawa Women’s University

The study of ENL children’s (children whose native language is English) literacy development enables the exploration of how to introduce reading to EFL students (children who learn English as a foreign language) in Japanese elementary school. The final goal of this study is to discern effective ways to introduce literacy. As reading is the first part of literacy education, this paper mainly focuses on reading. The first part of this study discusses literacy development and the difficulty of written language for ENL children. Then, the study shifts to literacy development and the difficulty of written language for EFL children, compared to their counterparts in ENL environments. The implications of this study help explore and improve efficient literacy education in English in Japanese elementary schools.
