Welcoming Linguistic Diversity in Early Childhood Classrooms

Learning from International Schools

Herausgeber: Murphy, Edna

Beschreibung

When young English language learners speak a variety of home languages, welcoming them into the classroom can be very challenging for teachers and English-speaking pupils. This book, written by teachers experienced in addressing the needs of this group, is a vital resource for new teachers working in a multilingual classroom for the first time.
