Includes bibliographical references (leaves 354-445). In the context where English, as a foreign language, is the main language of literacy and the written medium of instruction throughout the Mauritian education system, this thesis explores (1) preschoolers' early literacy experiences, (2) the outcomes of these experiences, and (3) the extent to which these experiences prepare them to use English in Standard 1. The theoretical and empirical research on emergent literacy, second/foreign language learning and teaching, second/foreign language literacy instruction and new literacies was reviewed in order to find some "anchor points" (Hamilton, 2006) in the literature. These "anchor points" guided this exploratory study on emergent/early literacy experiences in a multilingual context. After a pilot study, I embarked on a yearlong case study ofa group of preschool children and their teachers using an ethnographic approach. 2014-10-06T12:12:47Z 2014-10-06T12:12:47Z 2008 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8222 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
