Ever since its publication in 1995, this book has offered a means for teachers to consider why some bilingual pupils in their classrooms are not making learning progress or are academically underachieving. This new second edition has been revised and updated in the light of the new government legislation and guidance, most significantly the revised Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs.
It continues to look at ways of asking questions about the pupil, of collecting evidence of both learning and language development and of offering support within the classroom.
It contains a model and photocopiable proformas for use within schools, which should help to establish clear systems of identification of those bilingual pupils who may have special learning needs and to distinguish these from the need for language support.
'This is a good handbook in that it offers resources in ideas, assessment inventory forms, diagrams (which can be used for teaching and staff development), sample lesson plans and further reading. It is clearly set out...a potentially very useful resource and it should be a valuable addition to the bookshelves of educationists involved in multilingual schools.'
