More than a million UK children have English as an additional language (EAL) and the number is growing. This book begins with ideas on how to help these children settle in, while there is a section on how to support parents of EAL children. Easy to use and practical, highlights include the ‘you teach me’ game, where children and adults are pitted at the same level trying to learn words for common things through flashcards, with the corresponding word in both languages on the back.
