Abstract | The paper challenges doubts raised against the effectiveness of early foreign language learning. The most recent research, presented in the paper, contradicts such pessimism, pointing instead to a need for further development of the standards and the methods employed in early English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching. Empirical evidence now shows that young learners are able, given the right input, to produce spoken language greatly exceeding previous expectations, demonstrating an ability to form complex sentences and to re-narrate stories coherently, not just imitatively, but also in productive speech. The comparative study sheds new light on the learners' use of cohesive devices highlighting similarities and differences between L1 and L2 speakers and their use of English. In the light of this evidence, the paper calls for further research into how young learners can best be supported in developing this most desirable outcome of language teaching: communicative competence.
