Abstract:	Coelho's book on educational theory and practice in multilingual classrooms is an easily accessible resource for educators and administrators working with students whose first language (L1) is not the language normally used for instruction in class. While the book mostly focuses on English as the new language, the author is careful to outline the general processes of acclimatization and adaptation necessary during immigration, the complexity of accelerated language learning, dual language learning, and the challenges of acquiring literacy and numeracy in a language that is different from one's own - ensuring that the information is transferable to contexts, cultures and languages around the globe.
