An introduction session on EAL to help you know where to start and how to support your EAL learners. This session looks at some of the basics and fundamentals of working with EAL learners with a variety of different needs.
Including: new arrivals processes, assessment and tracking, common barriers to learning, and a range of strategies to take away and try.
The session will cover:
- An understanding of what an EAL learner is and how long it usually takes to learn English.
- An idea of what it looks like from a T&L point of view to be at different levels of proficiency and what we can reasonably expect from each level.
- What it feels like to be an EAL learner and how we can remove some of the cognitive load through adaptations to equality first teaching.
An understanding of common barriers to learning and how we can help support the whole child and not just the language development.
