Supporting EAL Learners is a comprehensive guide to language teaching for primary and secondary teachers with students in their class who speak a language other than English. Learners of English as an additional language (EAL) face the dual task of learning both English and subject content in English. To engage these learners, this double burden must be taken into account in the teaching and learning process.
Packed with useful tips and techniques for every stage of the EAL learning process, teachers in all kinds of contexts will benefit from this book. Part A starts with theory, defines EAL, describes the different types of EAL provision and summarises the key EAL concepts relating to inclusive pedagogy and second language acquisition.
Part B contains seven chapters on techniques for supporting EAL learners - including effective instruction, introducing and building vocabulary, developing speaking and writing skills, working with texts and inclusive approaches
