Resumen

En muchas comunidades de todo el mundo, los niños acceden a programas de preescolar en los que aprenden lenguas adicionales además de sus lenguas maternas. Esto implica una nueva visión de aspectos clave de las metodologías para la enseñanza de lenguas adicionales. A una edad temprana, el aprendizaje de lenguas está socialmente mediado, y la lengua meta se aprende oralmente. Esto apunta a la importancia de considerar que las capacidades biológicas de los niños y los contextos de aprendizaje contribuyen al desarrollo del proceso de aprendizaje. Basándose en los enfoques de adquisición del lenguaje infantil y dentro del marco teórico del ecosistema educativo, este documento describe cómo el entorno de aprendizaje de las aulas de preescolar da forma al proceso aprendizaje de lenguas adicionales. Además, el artículo presenta los componentes que contribuyen a la construcción sólida de ecosistemas de aprendizaje donde los maestros pueden inspirarse para fortalecer la calidad de la enseñanza.
