Description
Teachers wishing to gain an understanding of the theory and practice of educating children in multicultural classrooms should find this text useful. Within this accessible and comprehensive text, readers will find: tried and tested examples of good practice; case studies of effective multicultural schools; practical strategies to help bilingual pupils develop their language skills; help on partnership teaching and working with bilingual classroom assistants; guidance for effective home-school liaison; and a brief history of provision for pupils with EAL including changes to Section 11 funding and a synopsis of research on raising achievement with minority ethic pupils. By integrating the theory and practice of EAL teaching and multicultural education within an equal opportunities framework, the author clearly demonstrates how the guidance can be implemented directly into the classroom.
