This book makes an original and immensely valuable contribution to educational policy and practice in linguistically diverse societies. The authors describe in a highly engaging way, using many informative visuals and instructional examples, how educators can transform their teaching practice and student outcomes by infusing effective EAL strategies, including translanguaging, into a broader framework of concept-based curriculum and instruction that motivates students to inquire deeply into complex content and ideas. * Jim Cummins, University of Toronto, Canada *

This book introduces a concept-based curriculum, rich with practical strategies and examples from their own classrooms, that can be adapted for pupils of all language backgrounds. It is a deeply enjoyable book and worth the space on every teacher's shelf. * Robert Sharples, Founder of Heddle EAL, UK *
