Creating Welcoming Learning Environments Reviews

This volume is a great source of fascinating ideas for teachers, researchers and other professionals working with EAL children and young people. It is about creating welcoming learning environments by bringing together theoretical insights, transformative practices and artistic content. The ideas are easily adaptable and will definitely inspire future readers to create their own activities and welcoming environments. * Annamaria Pinter, University of Warwick, UK *
This inspiring research-to-practice book brings together multiple voices from the field of multilingual research and teaching. It presents readers with creative, innovative, and empowering endeavours which honour multilingualism and multilingual identities. Arts-based approaches are foregrounded as examples of critical socio-cultural pedagogies that facilitate the intentional disruption of monolingual classroom norms. There is something for everyone in here. * Naomi Flynn, University of Reading, UK *
This book is a thoughtful curation of educationalists' case studies of creative activities together with an analysis of the 'Creating Welcoming Learning Environments' workshops which inspired them. For teachers wanting to build on the rich cultural and linguistic capital represented by their EAL pupils, this book provides the underpinning research and a wealth of practical ideas and inspiration to welcome and create together! * Catherine Brennan, Director, Better Bilingual CIC *
