Do you have EAL students in your class? Would you like guidance on teaching your subject to EAL students? With linguistic diversity on the increase, teachers from all subject areas and levels of school education are working with students for whom English is an additional language, helping them to develop their English for learning purposes.
This book provides an invaluable and accessible resource for working with EAL students. It brings together the international experiences and expertise of a team of distinguished language educators who explore a range of teaching approaches and provide professionally-grounded practical advice. The chapters cover themes, references and pedagogic concerns common to teachers across the globe.
This book will be of use to individual teachers who want to extend their knowledge and practice, and also as a set text for professional development programmes.

The book presents a number of different approaches to teaching bilingual learners and those at different stages of learning EAL. As such, it would be a useful resource for students to engage with and would complement other core texts in the area of EAL. -- Dr Dimitrina Kaneva * drupal *
I shared this with students: big mistake! They liked it so much a struggle to get it back from them! -- Dr Liane Purnell * drupal *
The first chapter offers a comprehensive account of the history of language learning teaching, presenting in-depth information which both students and practioners may find relevant. There are very interesting chapters as well which offer a good theoretical discussion underpinning practical considerations. The book is now part of the recommened reading for the course. -- Dr Mario Moya * drupal *
This book was not adopted, however it has been recommended as additional reading to PGCE students. -- Mr David Leask * drupal *
This book is practical and informed and provides some excellent examples of how theory meets practice. It is easy to read, well laid out and written with a clear awareness of the classroom. I will be strongly recommending this for my MA students and ordering some copies for the library, too. -- Mrs Angella Cooze * drupal *
I found this book a little too deep for my current learners. However it will be a useful tool to update and extend my own knowledge of this subject. -- Mrs Gwyneth Walsham * drupal *
This text will be useful for qualified practitioners and trainees alike. I think the practicalities of teaching children with EAL is covered well in this book. -- Mrs Sharron Galley * drupal *
