Product reviews for Manglish

Fearghal Kelly, Teacher of Biology and Learning Coach, Preston Lodge High School
'Manglish' is much more than a mash-up of Maths and English and is not just for teachers of these subjects. 'Manglish' is for all teachers, but especially those who work in a Secondary context and who realise the importance of developing students literacy and numeracy skills in context. In this book Lisa-Jane not only communicates the need for a new approach to the lower secondary curriculum, she shows how it can be done. Lisa expertly blends her easy to read, enthusiastic and encouraging style with real practical examples which make you feel that you could apply 'Manglish' in your own classroom. As Lisa explains, any teacher could learn for her approach, but this book would be particularly relevant for school leaders who are looking for a practical way to incorporate the development of Maths and English skills across the lower secondary curriculum. Although primarily focused at English schools, this book would also be of interest to secondary school leaders in Scotland who are looking to more fully integrate the development of literacy and numeracy skills across the broad general education phase.
