Placing reading in its social context, this book discusses what it means to be a reader in the modern world. It contains ideas on how to approach reading in the language classroom, and presents many text-related activities. It also invites teachers to explore the attitudes of their learners as readers, and to design reading activities for them.

In this lecture, Professor Catherine Wallace explores the literacy and language development of two groups of EAL (English as an Additional Language) pupils in London schools: Year 5 pupils in a primary school and Year 8 new arrivals in a secondary school. As they navigate their way through the British educational system, the learners recount stories of success and setback, allowing us to draw a number of lessons about pedagogy and curriculum.The lecture concludes with recommendations for a sociolinguistically oriented approach to literacy and language learning that acknowledges the cultural and linguistic resources and needs of the growing number of these pupils in London classrooms.

Somalis have settled in the UK in significant numbers, yet Somali children’s schooling needs have been largely ignored. Only Mohamed Kahin’s Educating Somali Children in Britain, published in 1997, offered insights and information to those responsible for their educational provision. In this new book, completed by Professor Catherine Wallace after his death, Kahin explores the ways Somali parents can optimize the achievement of their children in UK schools. His findings are relevant to other minority groups, and to families in global societies of increasingly diverse ethnic, class and cultural backgrounds.
