Now more than ever the English language has become a
necessity in several aspects of our life. As a consequence of
globalisation and the need of an international and intercultural
communication tool (Jenkins, Cogo, and Dewey 2011, Cogo 2012),
English has emerged as a lingua franca and English acquisition is in
the spotlight. This research aims to understand how English teaching
could be improved at school. While different language approaches
and methodologies are used, the mother tongue of the learner is not
taken into account in English teaching and the CEFR (Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages) is still used as
guideline, not only in Europe but also worldwide (Nakatani 2012).
We live in a multilingual world where all languages are in constant
contact and identities are blurred, mostly when English has raised as
the universal language. Taking this into account, our research focuses
on a plurilingual approach to English language teaching in order to
improve English learning in primary school based on an
understanding of languages from an ecological point of view. The
study is conducted in five primary school centres, in 3 different
countries. [-]
