Full Description
This book addresses the issues which arise where English-medium international schools accept non-English speaking students. The book aims to help such schools develop a special programme to enable these students to pursue their education and fulfil their potential in English. Produced in conjunction with ECIS specifically for international schools, this reference work should be of interest to all those involved with children who are being educated in a language other than their mother tongue.
