The SecEd Podcast: Teaching students who use English as an additional language

This episode looks at how we can effectively teach and support students who use English as an additional language (EAL) in the classroom.

With advice from three experienced teaching experts, we consider who our EAL students are, the five bands of language proficiency, the tenets of good classroom practice, learning materials, translanguaging, high expectations, assessing learners' progress, effective resources, and more.

We also look at family/parental engagement, how to support students when they first arrive in your school, whole-school approaches and supporting EAL students during Covid-19.
