Supporting children with English as an additional language (EAL)
requires detailed knowledge and understanding of their social,
cognitive and linguistic needs. Supporting Pupils with EAL in the
Primary Classroom highlights the fundamental principles that
underpin teaching and learning, and examines practical strategies
for classroom practice. The book focuses on the importance of
recognising the knowledge, skills and experience that children with
EAL bring to the classroom, whilst identifying the specific support
required. It draws on evidence from an extended case study to
illustrate essential points and combines this with an examination
of relevant theory as well as how this translates to classroom
practice. Key features of the book include: * Core knowledge and
skills about how to support children with EAL * Case study
scenarios to illustrate particular principles, pedagogies and
practices * Practical ideas for the classroom throughout Supporting
Pupils with EAL in the Primary Classroom is an invaluable text for
those in teaching training, qualified teachers, senior managers in
schools and those working in initial teacher education. "The author
writes about the demands of teaching EAL learners with commitment,
knowledge and enthusiasm. She offers the reader insights and
examples from her own research and classroom practice, beginning
with a discussion of bilingualism and language learning, followed
up by an exploration the four skills and assessment in the
classroom, as well as a chapter arguing for professional
development and research informed teaching. In this chapter she
stresses the importance of teachers finding innovative ways to
enable EAL learners within the curriculum context. In the final
chapter, drawing on the sociocultural framework that informs her
work, the author discusses the challenges, constraints and
possibilities for supporting EAL children in the wider contexts of
pedagogy and policy. Throughout, there are case studies and
examples, and the author writes with a sense of optimism that it is
in the capacity of teachers to improve the classroom learning
opportunities for EAL learners. Written in a personable and
accessible style, this book offers an informative foundation for
teacher educators and professionals who want to learn more about
working with EAL learners." Dr Charlotte Franson, formerly of
Canterbury Christ Church University, UK "As a teacher educator, I
am often engaged in discussions around trainees' perceptions of the
complexities of teaching children learning EAL. This book, rooted
in practice based research provides an accessible and informative
scaffold for those embarking on a career in teaching. The premise
of the 'what' and 'how' is particularly useful and the sequence of
chapters provides a well mapped journey for the reader, through the
theory, practice and considerations of supporting children learning
EAL. Exemplification, through the case study vignettes, poses
reflective thinking points that can be readily applied to one's own
practice. Overall, excellent practitioner guidance that both
consolidates subject knowledge and provides realistic practice
guidance. A title I will be heartily recommending to my students."
Gill Chambers, Senior Lecturer in Education, University of
Northampton, UK
