'The Narrative Format' for Learning and Teaching Languages to Children and Adults

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the theoretical basis of an innovative methodology, the ‘Narrative Format’ used in teaching foreign languages to young children, as well as its implementation in Romania by EuroEd Foundation, Iasi. The intergenerational learning model applied both in families and kindergartens has been developed by the ‘Bilfam’ project co-financed by the European Union under the Lifelong Learning Programme and coordinated by the University of Rome Sapienza. Results have shown that the foreign language learning process is deeply influenced by the relationships between adults and children. Both children and adults can benefit from the experience which also stimulates a positive attitude towards multilingualism.
