Review Quotes




Teaching EAL is a rare thing, a book about professional practice that is hard to put down. In fact, I think it is the best book I have read about EAL since a book with a similar title (The EAL Teaching Book) was first published in 2002.



Reading this book is like engaging in professional dialogue with a highly skilled EAL specialist. Whatever your role or experience in supporting EAL learners, you will learn about research and about evidence based practical strategies. All clearly explained and structured so you can easily find exactly what you need. Your brand new EAL best friend!

Robert Sharples' book belongs on the professional reading shelves of every school that aims to promote strong academic attainment among multilingual pupils. In crystal clear prose, Sharples outlines the core knowledge required by teachers to create instructional spaces where EAL learners can use their full repertoire of cognitive and linguistic skills to engage in powerful learning and succeed academically.
