Over the past few decades there have been several legislative and policy developments aimed at implementing provision and support for EAL learners in education; despite this, research shows that successful mainstreaming of EAL pupils has not yet been achieved.

- Despite a series of legislative and policy developments aimed at mainstreaming support for EAL pupils, it has been argued across a variety of contexts that a common curriculum has promoted universalism and led to a lack of explicit attention given towards EAL pedagogies and practices.
