A timely contribution to our understanding of how subject teachers can promote subject literacy and improve outcomes for EAL learners. It is written in clear, non-technical language with practical advice and detailed examples that demonstrate language aware strategies, tasks, and feedback across subject specialisations.

Classroom Discourse

A much-needed volume that provides a coherent conceptual framework for extending the teaching of grammar and literacy into the secondary school context. It provides subject teachers, and those delivering ITE and CPD programmes with excellent examples of how teachers can make explicit language used to express knowledge in their particular subjects.

This book is long overdue and fills a gap in understanding how to develop non-native speaker (and native speaker) learners' academic English in the secondary classroom. The strategies will be invaluable for teachers of all subjects in the secondary as well as for teacher educators, working with secondary student teachers.

The authors have identified and filled a gap, in providing research-based practice and guidance to secondary colleagues, with a subject specialist focus. Throughout, they weave in additional references and links to resources to further support teachers, offering scope for further development of their pedagogical approaches. It has incorporated andragogical approaches from work-based learning, which can support departmental and whole school improvement for EAL learners.
