Constant Leung & Angela Creese 
English as an Additional Language 
Approaches to Teaching Linguistic Minority Students

Do you have EAL students in your class? Would you like guidance on teaching your subject to EAL students? With linguistic diversity on the increase, teachers from all subject areas and levels of school education are working with students for whom English is an additional language, helping them to develop their English for learning purposes.

This book provides an invaluable and accessible resource for working with EAL students. It brings together the international experiences and expertise of a team of distinguished language educators who explore a range of teaching approaches and provide professionally-grounded practical advice. The chapters cover themes, references and pedagogic concerns common to teachers across the globe.

This book will be of use to individual teachers who want to extend their knowledge and practice, and also as a set text for professional development programmes.

Professor Constant Leung is Deputy Head of Department of Education and Professional Studies at King′s College London.
