Charting the Course of Teaching and Learning in a Networked World

When should you start teach ESL?

Hello!
I work at a small school in Sweden. Right now we are discussing at what age we should start teaching ESL in order to take advantage of the few hours we have at our disposal for teaching ESL. In Sweden there is no demands on teaching English before the age of 10 (fourht grade) according to the syllabus in English as a foreign language. We need to get hold of some new reseach on the subject. Does anybody know where to find good research that is up to date?

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
