Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies for Multilingual Learners

This is a practical, essential resource for educators working with English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners. It provides immediately usable, evidence-based classroom activities designed to bridge the gap between linguistic theory and daily practice.

Each strategy in the book follows a clear, three-part format: What? Why? How?. This helps teachers quickly grasp the pedagogical purpose and implement it with ease through scripts, examples, and classroom-ready prompts. organised around key instructional needs, the book offers a wealth of writing resources, interactive activities, and scaffolding techniques that accelerate language acquisition alongside content knowledge.

What sets this book apart is its "boots on the ground" approach; every activity has been trialled and refined in real-time with learners to ensure it resonates in a live classroom setting. Furthermore, the integration of AI task companions provides adaptable, interactive tools that empower both teachers and students, ensuring these strategies remain at the cutting edge of today’s evolving digital landscape. This is an indispensable guide for all teachers who work with diverse populations of multilingual learners, educators who wish to employ more robust Tier 1 instruction, or EAL and learning support specialists.
