Synopsis

Bilingual and multilingual learners (BMLs) are the fastest growing student group in the world today. Yet while this changing landscape of students requires more highly-skilled teachers than ever-before, research shows that mainstream educators receive very little, if any, professional development to support them in their work with BMLs. This book takes teachers on a thought-provoking journey as they explore the “inside-outs” of bilingualism and multilingualism through the lens of their own schools and classrooms. It also introduces them to important research and high-impact teaching approaches that allow BMLs to thrive. It engages teachers and gets them to reflect on the hard questions that form the heart of their work. Bilingual and Multilingual Learners from the Inside-Out is a comprehensive, professional development solution for schools and teachers, helping them understand how to harness BMLs’ cultures, languages and diverse experiences for thinking and learning.
