Planning for Bilingual Learners: An Inclusive Curriculum

Planning for Bilingual Learners offers a framework for teachers to include bilingual learners in their curriculum planning. That this is seldom done at present has serious consequences for children's learning. This book considers what is needed for the curriculum to be made accessible to all children and provides the necessary framework for action. Experienced teachers show how they have used this framework to plan effectively for bilingual learners in both primary and secondary classrooms and in a range of curriculum areas, so enhancing the learning of all the pupils, whether monolingual English or bilingual/multilingual. The book will be essential for all schools, primary and secondary, which have pupils who speak a first language other than English, including those where there are only a few such children in each class.
