Teachers are developing new strategies to meet the language and literacy needs of EAL learners. New resources have been developed to support teachers and student teachers meet the needs of all learners in multilingual classrooms.
- The inclusion of EAL pupils in traditionally monolingual classrooms has led to changes in teachers’ classroom practices. This has also created challenges for student teachers, feeling unprepared to meet the language and literacy needs of EAL pupils.
- There are resources and frameworks available to assist teachers to meet the needs of EAL learners. For example, The Bell Foundation has produced an EAL Assessment Framework, developed alongside leading EAL assessment experts.
- Further resources, support and information on CPD related to supporting EAL learners is available from NALDIC, the National Subject Association for EAL.
- Internationally, frameworks and pedagogical tools have been created to support teachers and student teachers to be linguistically responsive to the needs of EAL learners.
