Abstract

Language-Sensitive Teaching and Learning: A Resource Book for Teachers and Teacher Educators, edited by Richard Rossner and Rod Bolitho, provides an in-depth understanding of language use in both classroom settings and online teaching and learning. The book also offers a range of practical ideas and activities, which are designed to be applied to teacher education courses and professional development programs for teachers in practice. Furthermore, the book includes a dedicated chapter (chapter 5) that focuses on those working in teacher education, encompassing curriculum development and in-service training. The concept of language-sensitive teaching helps teachers become more aware of the importance of language and communication in facilitating students’ academic success.
