Understanding bilingualism and the theories of language learning and acquisition is key to teacher effectiveness in international schools, and this book outlines them in accessible detail. In so doing, and perhaps most importantly for the propagation of the educationally sound evidence-based views put forward in this book, it empowers practitioners to advocate for best practice within their schools...This book offers a one-stop opportunity for busy leaders, administrators and practitioners to validate held beliefs and develop their professional knowledge. The book is a 'must-read' for teachers new to the international circuit, and experienced teachers who want to become more effective in the multicultural classroom. It is for anyone planning a teacher in-service training programme or presenting information to parents or looking for a comprehensive set of practical suggestions for starting the year with emergent bilinguals.
