As the number of children for whom English is an Additional
Language in schools increases, how do teachers and trainees prepare
to support them to succeed? A complete guide to understanding,
learning from and teaching bilingual and EAL children in schools.
The text begins by asking ′who are EAL learners′ and challenges
some of the misconceptions about this group. It goes on to examine
language in depth, providing focused theory to help teachers and
trainees better understand the wider context of children′s needs.
This theory is supported by a wealth of information on practical
teaching strategies and resources in the promoting learning
section. The text covers planning across the curriculum for EAL and
offers day-to-day practical support for teachers. The fourth
edition is updated throughout and includes a new chapter on EAL and
SEND.
Starting from the key idea that learners and teachers bring diverse
linguistic knowledge and resources to education, this book
establishes and explores the concept of the 'multilingual turn' in
languages education and the potential benefits for individuals and
societies. It takes account of recent research, policy and practice
in the fields of bilingual and multilingual education as well as
foreign and second language education. The chapters integrate
theory and practice, bringing together researchers and
practitioners from five continents to illustrate the effects of the
multilingual turn in society and evaluate the opportunities and
challenges of implementing multilingual curricula and activities in
a variety of classrooms. Based on the examples featured, the
editors invite students, teachers, teacher educators and
researchers to reflect on their own work and to evaluate the
relevance and applicability of the multilingual turn in their own
contexts.

Researching Education for Social Justice in Multilingual Settings
provides innovative guidance on carrying out qualitative research
in education by offering a wide range of examples of research
projects with a focus on the methodologies and data collection
strategies used. Rather than decontextualised 'how-to' advice, the
book offers insights into the complexities of actually carrying out
research in multilingual settings. In this practical guide,
examples of real-life projects are framed by chapters providing a
theoretical background to the principles of ethnography and to the
processes and practices of qualitative research, focusing on data
generation and collection strategies. Case study chapters offer a
rich understanding of the detail of qualitative research in
education from the points of view of people who have engaged in it.
Moreover, the book promotes understanding of current research that
aims to make a difference to pupils, students, teachers and
families whose diverse languages and cultural experiences are not
fully valued in society and in mainstream education contexts.
Pedagogical features that support private study and use on courses
include a glossary of key terms, guiding questions for reading at
the start of each section, and discussion questions to promote
reflection as well as suggestions for further reading. Researching
Education for Social Justice in Multilingual Settings is a
