This book addresses the issues which arise where English-medium international schools accept non-English speaking students. The book aims to help such schools develop a special programme to enable these students to pursue their education and fulfil their potential in English. Produced in conjunction with ECIS specifically for international schools, this reference work should be of interest to all those involved with children who are being educated in a language other than their mother tongue.

About Edna Murphy

She later conceived of, edited and contributed to a book entitled ESL: A Handbook for Teachers and Administrators in International Schools. She also served for many years on the Board of the European Council of International Schools. In this capacity and well into her retirement she headed accreditation teams to schools in Europe, Asia and Africa, the primary school being her particular interest.
