Language and the Curriculum: Practitioner Research in Planning Differentiation

Using examples from classroom practice, this book shows how pupils with language and communication difficulties can have access to learning opportunities similar to those of their peers. It illustrates how practitioners can use the curriculum as a vehicle for language learning, while at the same time addressing the pupil's language and communication needs. The current national focus on language and literacy and the importance of inclusive education and differentiated approaches make the content of this book of particular relevance to a wide range of practitioners in education, including teachers, speech and language therapists, SENCOs and educational psychologists.
