Teaching EAL: Evidence-based Strategies for the Classroom and School

Review\nReading 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! ― Maria Walker, Head of English as an Additional Language Service, Glasgow City Council, UK\nRobert 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. ― Jim Cummins, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto, Canada\nTeaching 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. ― EAL Academy, 2021\nThis book offers an evidence-based guide to EAL for everyone who works with multilingual learners. It provides a concise, helpful introduction to the latest research underpinning three key areas of EAL practice: How children acquire additional languages How language works across the curriculum How you can establish outstanding EAL practice in your school. 
Other key features include case studies from experienced EAL specialists, extensive reading recommendations for teachers who want to build on their knowledge, and a detailed chapter on Ofsted based on interviews with senior inspectors.

This is the first to appear of the projected volumes of commentary to accompany the texts and translations on Theophrastus of Eresus: Sources for his Life, Writings, Thought and Influence, edited by W.W. Fortenbaugh and others ("FHSG" (Philosophia Antiqua 54); Leiden, Brill, 1992). It covers the ancient secondary evidence for Theophrastus' views on physiology, zoology and botany; the transmission, reliability and doctrinal content of the reports in the text-and-translation volume are all discussed in detail, and general overviews are provided. The commentary is an indispensable accompaniment to the text-and-translation volume, and the two together will be an important resource for students of the history of the biological sciences in antiquity.
