Bilingualism in the Primary School gives primary teachers a window on the experience of the bilingual children in their care. It helps them to make the most of what the children and their parents have to offer, giving those children a good start in the National Curriculum. The book covers three main areas: first, the ways in which bilingual children in school can learn English and at the same time have their first languages incorporated naturally into the curriculum; second, various approaches to the assessment of oral language (including children’s mother tongue); and, finally, the bilingual experience of children, teachers and parents within the wider community.
Word by Word Songbook The Word by Word Songbook and accompanying Song Album offer entertaining practice with English vocabulary through a variety of popular musical types. They may be used independtly or as musical accompaniments to the Word by Word family of Picture Dictionaries: Word by Word, Word by Word Basic, and the Word by Word Bilingual Edtions. Each song appears twice on the album - first, with the words and music; and then in a "karaoke-style" sing-along version with just the musical background.
