With the increased focus from OfSTED on evaluating how teachers meet the needs of different groups of students in lessons, teachers in all curriculum areas need to demonstrate how they make their subject accessible for all. Addressing the needs of students of different nationalities, abilities and levels of proficiency in English is a significant challenge since 'catch up' and progress must be made without delay.

Teachers need to be able to draw upon strategies to enable EAL students to fully access the curriculum and achieve their potential. Effective lesson planning and an understanding of language levels is vital in the drive to ensure the progress of this group of students.

This course will offer practical strategies and proven techniques for teaching EAL students in any subject. In addition, it will suggest ways both to support the learning and to raise the achievement of EAL students.
