Supporting students in the best possible way with all available means - which teacher wouldn't want that? An important yet often neglected tool for this is teacher language. The central question is: How can I, as a teacher, use language purposefully to support my students with special educational needs in the areas of learning, language, and social-emotional development? Verbal elements such as word choice and sentence structure play just as significant a role as non-verbal or paraverbal aspects like facial expressions and gestures, positioning in the classroom, speaking speed, and intonation. This volume offers you a compact and easily understandable introduction to the topic, an overview of the central tools of teacher language, and a variety of practice suggestions to purposefully train what you've read and apply it in practice.
