Abstract
This paper reports a five-day pre-term INSET course for the staff of an international school in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The first section gives a description of the school and its perceived need for INSET on cross-curricular English language support for bilingual students developing their knowledge of, and skills in, English. The second section describes the course, whose contents can be considered relevant to all contexts of English-medium school education, and indicates related curriculum action. The principal argument is that all teachers involved in the support of ESL learners—i.e. both mainsteam subject teachers and language support (TESOL) specialists—can best communicate with each other and facilitate their students' learning through the medium of “common codes”. These common codes are defined and exemplified.
