  1. Working with students who have EAL. Research tells us “First language is the foundation for ALL other learning”.

  2. Aims • To know how to support a student learning EAL. • To know where to access support and resources. • To increase your awareness of culture diversity.

  3. Self Awareness Quiz • How long does it take for an EAL student to learn English? • Does maintaining and developing the students’ first language help or hinder the learning of English? • People born in which country make up the largest number of immigrants in Mansfield? • What percentage of the population of Mansfield are from this country? • How many EAL students attend The Manor?

  4. Card Activity In small groups please read and place the statements on the continuum of agree / disagree.

  5. EAL Statements

  6. Admission and Induction How can we help with the admission and induction process for a student learning EAL? Who should be responsible for this process? How good are we at doing this?

  7. EAL Team Recommend: • Ensure school collects as much information as possible – educational background etc • Share information with parents regarding school policies, expectations etc – remember these may need translating! • Make parents feel welcome and part of the school – they are the biggest asset. • Show that their language and cultural backgrounds are valued and respected – bilingual displays, information etc.

  8. How can we support the student’s understanding of a lesson? Lesson Time!

  19. Strategies continued • Explain jokes, cliches and idiomatic expressions. • Encourage use of bilingual dictionary • Allow time to reflect before expecting a response. • Allow the use of ICT for translation. • Encourage the student to admit when they have not understood what is being said.

  20. Strategies continued • Check understanding. Repeat instructions. • Rephrase if necessary. • Give opportunities for students to verbalise ideas before attempting written work. • Encourage appropriate groupings. • Carry on speaking and making eye contact even if no response. • Use homework to allow the students to identify and learn key terms for your next lesson.
