The Oxford International Lower Secondary English Workbooks support and consolidate learning from the Student Books. The Workbooks contain a wide range of activities to practice key grammar points, to consolidate vocabulary and to develop writing skills across a range of genres. Students with English as an Additional Language are well supported with clear instructions, structured grammar practice, suggested vocabulary and learning tips. Low-threshold, high-ceiling writing tasks allow for differentiation and give students the opportunity to get creative. Extension tasks ensure that high attainers are being stretched. Each Workbook contains a list of cross-curricular words and their definitions. These words are used across all academic subjects and are crucial to a student's academic success. There are a range of activities to consolidate the words and to ensure students can use them in different contexts.

In schools across the world, there are large numbers of students who are not native speakers of the language of instruction in their classroom. This leads to challenges for the teachers, students and parents. Translanguaging enables students who are second language leaners to build on previous learning, access the curriculum more effectively, learn with greater depth of understanding, improve their ability to speak and write the academic language of instruction and continue to develop their mother tongue. This book describes the origin and development of translanguaging. It explains the present situation in many secondary schools and the challenges which are faced by teachers, students and their parents. It aligns the power of translanguaging with cognitive psychologists' theories of effective learning. Concrete suggestions are offered to support teaching and learning with real examples from practice given by classroom teachers.

Teaching students for whom English is not their first language is a huge challenge for any educator. It is frustrating and demoralising for teachers and their students if the language barrier prevents learning and progress in the classroom. But, with ever increasing numbers of English as a Second Language (ESL) students in secondary schools - there is now a majority in international schools - teachers need to know how to overcome common problems and teach ESL students effectively. This concise and informative book provides strategies and practical advice that teachers can use every day in the classroom to help ESL students understand and get to grips with their subject. It includes advice on using the textbook, cultural differences, realistic timescales for learning, and language and grammar that is easy to understand; plus chapters on teaching specific subjects. Patricia Mertin is Mother Tongue co-ordinator at the International School of Dusseldorf and has vast experience of teaching ESL students.
