Supporting English as Additional Language (EAL) Learners
Course content
This course will help you to meet the needs of a nationally identified vulnerable group, EAL learners. The Ofsted inspection teams will be observing practices and "If children (EAL learners) are not developing a good standard of spoken English or in their early writing and literacy skills in English, inspectors should consider the impact on their progress and whether this might lead to a judgement that the overall quality of the provision is inadequate." (Early Years Inspection Handbook)
This course explores how to support individual children/cohorts ensuring that they have a sufficient grasp of English and reflecting on whether EAL learner's well-being and involvement is high.
Resources and ideas include:
- Communicating effectively with EAL learners and how practitioners can model language well
- Ideas on how to engage with EAL parents
- How to assess and promote further learning with EAL learners
- How children can develop their vocabulary and understanding of English language across the areas of learning
Who is this course for?
All practitioners working with children who have English as an additional language.
