Subject: Bilingual Education in the Early Years
Question:
I am a student specializing in early years education with a focus of English as an additional language as my dissertation subject. I am particularly interested in whether people feel that the early education system (particularly in the UK) successfully accommodates the learning needs of young EAL/bilingual children. If so, how? Similarly, if not, what strategies could be employed to cater more successfully for individual needs?

Then repost, saying what you have already read; http://scholar.google.com is an
excellent resource for finding articles on your topic. A few panel members live in UK
and may be able to help you more, but you need to lay the groundwork first.
