- Second language students in mainstream classrooms [computer file] : a handbook for teachers in international schools
- This handbook is designed as an aid to teachers of mainstream classes in the elementary sections of English-medium international schools. Teachers of these classes are faced on a daily basis with managing the education of children from diverse language and cultural backgrounds. Most international schools contain a majority group of students from one of the English-speaking countries of the world; however, it is the presence of the second language children that gives such schools their unique flavor. It is also the presence of these students that offers a major challenge to classroom teachers.
