The present study focuses on young E F L learners' use of the L2 to convey various linguistic functions (ask for information, talk about personal things, etc.). Based on the functional categories identified by Halliday (1975) and Painter (1999) in the development of the L 1, and after having observed the use of these functions in a full-immersion E F L context, the aim of the study is to analyse the ways in which teachers can promote the use of the L2 to express different functions in low immersion contexts. The results of the experiment presented here show that, with the use of specific and well-planned activities, teachers can encourage very young learners to use the L2 to convey different functions and to initiate interactions as they usually do in their L 1.
