This book offers practical research-based advice for teachers on how to adapt school and classroom procedures, curriculum content and instructional strategies in order to provide a supportive learning environment for students of minority language backgrounds who are learning the language of instruction as they are learning the curriculum.

This work is designed for use with an adolescent or adult class working in groups of four, with the reading and exercise texts written at four different reading levels within the grades 3-7 range. There are both individual and group activities as well as co-operative skills sheets for each unit.

This book examines the challenges of educating students recently arrived from other countries, the children of immigrants, as well as historical 'minority groups'. It outlines the relevant theoretical background and provides detailed practical advice for teachers and school administrators in schools serving culturally diverse communities.
