Britain today is culturally and linguistically diverse. One in
eight pupils in primary schools speaks a language other than
English; in secondary schools, one in six. Over 200 languages are
spoken in London schools. EAL (English as an additional language)
learners are those who were exposed to a language other than
English during their early development. They come from varied
backgrounds and parts of the world - including the UK -and may
speak several languages but are also learning English. The EAL
Pocketbook supports teachers of pupils in mainstream classes
learning English as an additional language, whether in rural or
urban contexts. It provides tips, tools and techniques to ensure
that all pupils can thrive in their learning. Author Alice
Washbourne takes an inclusive approach modelled on 'the ladder to
success'. Teachers begin with the learner's skills and strengths,
build on these to make learning cognitively challenging, then
provide scaffolding to support their move towards independent
learning. Chapters cover how to make EAL learners feel welcome;
climbing the 'ladder to success'; the use of visuals and talk as
learning media; supporting students across the curriculum with
practical ideas for facilitating reading, writing and language
development. The book is highly illustrated throughout. A range of
cartoons, diagrams and other visuals support the text making the
key messages both accessible and memorable. Alice Washbourne is a
consultant EAL advisor, trainer and coach.
