Reviews''The strength of the book is that examples from classroom research are used to demonstrate how meta-language about grammar and meaning can be included, rather than added separately, in a content lesson to support language development... Chapters 3 and 4 contain many valuable subject-based examples, used with both young and adolescent learners... This volume is a welcome addition to work taking this view on how language development is involved in contentlearning. ...this book is valuable both to TESOL students and practitioners already familiar with a functional approach and to those whose thinking and practice is moving in that direction.''Applied Linguistics, 'The strength of the book is that examples from classroom research are used to demonstrate how meta-language about grammar and meaning can be included, rather than added separately, in a content lesson to support language development...

  • Wonderful for all English Language teachers

    Having taught English for over 40 years, and ESL as well as children with little to no prior education prior to Grade 4, Toronto, Canada. I highly recommend this book not only for the grammar taught at school, with great examples for what the teacher has forgotten from their school days, but helps the ESL teacher with the internal grammar structure of this language we learn before we go to school, eg the order of adjectives of quality. It helps teachers explain how to constructively help the student rather than say `that doesn't sound right'. I highly recommend this book as a forever reference book.
