Beskrivning

Teaching for Linguistic Diversity in Schools: Student Wellbeing and Achievement explores the linguistic landscape of Australia, including English, Indigenous languages, community languages and school-taught modern languages, to help teachers recognise the extent of children's language knowledge and to reflect on its implications for the classroom. The book explores the significant links between languages, wellbeing and academic achievement in students and offers readers practical suggestions for how to utilise linguistic diversity as an educational resource. The authors' conversational writing style engages both pre-service and practising teachers, helping them understand concepts they may not have previously encountered, while the case studies and stories from practising educators, students and parents bridge the gap between theory and practice. Each chapter includes reflection questions, creative activities and discussion questions to scaffold learning. The integrated online resources contain links to useful websites, further readings and videos to encourage independent exploration.
