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

With a focus on pedagogy and practical teaching advice, this episode of The SecEd Podcast advises secondary school teachers on how to effectively support EAL students in our classrooms.

With advice from three 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.
