Classrooms of possibility : supporting at-risk EAL students / edited by Jennifer Hammond and Jennifer Miller.
This book "focuses on pedagogy, rather than social or welfare issues, and has three main aims: To address the needs of at-risk EAL students once they are integrated into mainstream classes and where specialist support may be limited. To focus on teaching and learning practices within mainstream classes that are likely to support at-risk EAL students to engage fully and equitably in the school curriculum. To address the specific needs of at-risk EAL students by proposing ways in which teachers can better support such students to develop academic language and literacy. The book complements the Australian Curriculum as a whole and the Australian Curriculum: English in particular by addressing the specific needs of 'At-Risk' EAL students." - Back cover.
