5. The Research Team
6. What We Wanted To Learn. In many curriculum areas poor levels of participation by beginner bilingual pupils has been linked to low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, limited access to the curriculum and hence, low academic achievement.
7. Data Gathering and Analysis Research Data has been captured through:
Lesson observations with written notes
A video of each observed lesson
A taped discussion immediately after one observed lesson with focus and non focus students
Follow up meetings between the research team

First Language: Portuguese. Refugee from Angola.
Age started to learn English: 11.
Juliana received a patchy education in Angola due to the war. She is a bright, vivacious, hardworking student who is keen to do well. She is in the early stages of learning English but is making rapid progress, especially with her spoken and understanding of English. She is in the Year 7 EAL Literacy group to receive further English language support and participates in the Paired Reading Scheme. She is taught by both Omar (Music) and Hilary (EAL). She was chosen for this project as she is a beginner bilingual learner.
