With an estimated 1.6 million English as an Additional Language
(EAL) learners in the UK, and over 5 million in the USA, EAL
research is urgently needed to inform practice. This edited volume
investigates the multifaceted elements that shape EAL pedagogy and
research in a variety of settings and research areas including
linguistic ability influences on subject-specific skills,
integrating learners' home languages into classroom environments,
and the importance of supporting EAL teachers in the classroom. In
doing so, the contributors provide an international perspective on
the emerging field of EAL research. The research-based chapters
detail fundamental concerns related to EAL learner education. The
text is composed of three parts: Part 1 explores the question of
what is EAL and how a definition can shape policy construction;
Part 2 examines the challenges EAL learners face in the classroom,
including the use of first languages and the relative impact
learner language proficiency has on subject-specific classes; and
Part 3 investigates concerns relating to supporting EAL teachers in
the classroom. The volume draws on researcher expertise from a
variety of universities and institutions worldwide. It explores
diverse language backgrounds in multilingual contexts. It covers
empirical studies with pedagogical, policy and further research
implications. The volume represents a single resource invaluable
for EAL teachers, trainers and trainees, as well as researchers in
the field of education, language learning and teaching,
bilingualism and multilingualism, and second language acquisition.
