Abstract
The unprecedented global movement of people has resulted in increasing demographic changes to classroom populations. As a result, teachers across the UK are working with increasing numbers of students from diverse backgrounds learning English as an additional language (EAL). This presentation reports on findings from case studies across the different sectors of Scottish schools. The interpretation of the findings has drawn on recent theorizing on languages, literacies and identities in order to understand the elements that need to be in place for teachers to be able to develop practices that are truly inclusive and responsive to linguistic and cultural ‘difference’.
