This study looks at how students learn and socialise in school when their first language is a language other than English. It explores recent changes in educational policy and practices as well as in educational research.
English as a Second Language learners are now a considerable and increasing part of the mainstream of urban schools in English-speaking countries. Beyond the learning of English, this development raises broader questions of language as a medium of education in a multilingual, multicultural environment.
