'This is an excellent guide to supporting learners of English as an additional language for student teachers. The 'key points' and 'reflection' sections are particularly useful. It is also refreshing to read a book which considers the ITET standards of both Wales and England.' Sian Sanders, Senior Lecturer in Education, Swansea Metropolitan University, UK
'This is an excellent, well structured book that covers the main issues around the teaching and learning of additional-language pupils and contains a wide range of well researched practical strategies that can be used in the classroom. With increasing cultural and ethnic diversity in schools, this book needs to be required reading for all teachers, trainee teachers and anyone involved in the education of EAL pupils.' Chris Remigio, Newly Qualified Physics Teacher, Queen Elizabeth High School, Carmarthen, Wales
