A new book written by an experienced educator who is fully trained in Instrumental Enrichment is called Beneath the Surface: the Hidden Realities of Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Young Learners, by Kenneth Pransky (Heinemann, 2008). The book shows how a teacher would incorporate mediated learning and Instrumental Enrichment activities into working with diverse students with different nationality and language backgrounds, and who are learning English. An emphasis is on how teachers can become empathic and effective in this context; examples of student-teacher dialogue are included.
