This book offers an evidence-based guide to EAL for everyone who works with multilingual learners. It provides a concise, helpful introduction to the latest research underpinning three key areas of EAL practice:

  • How children acquire additional languages
  • How language works across the curriculum
  • How you can establish outstanding EAL practice in your school.

Other key features include case studies from experienced EAL specialists, extensive reading recommendations for teachers who want to build on their knowledge, and a detailed chapter on Ofsted based on interviews with senior inspectors.

This book will prove an invaluable guide and support for everyone working with bilingual learners. In clear, short chapters it gives a thorough grounding in the evidence and principles needed to create outstanding EAL provision.

Industry Reviews
Reading this book is like engaging in professional dialogue with a highly skilled EAL specialist. Whatever your role or experience in supporting EAL learners, you will learn about research and about evidence based practical strategies. All clearly explained and structured so you can easily find exactly what you need. Your brand new EAL best friend! * Maria Walker, Head of English as an Additional Language Service, Glasgow City Council, UK *
Robert Sharples' book belongs on the professional reading shelves of every school that aims to promote strong academic attainment among multilingual pupils. In crystal clear prose, Sharples outlines the core knowledge required by teachers to create instructional spaces where EAL learners can use their full repertoire of cognitive and linguistic skills to engage in powerful learning and succeed academically. * Jim Cummins, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto, Canada *

Teaching EAL is a rare thing, a book about professional practice that is hard to put down. In fact, I think it is the best book I have read about EAL since a book with a similar title (The EAL Teaching Book) was first published in 2002.
