Supporting teachers to provide integrated content and language teaching for EAL students.
English the Key to Integration (Waltham Forest)
The project developed a range of materials in maths, science, English and geography to support teachers to provide integrated content and language teaching for EAL students at KS4.
The delivery approach that worked best was individual or small groups of teachers working with an EAL expert to plan a specific future lesson and prepare a set of materials. Teachers then trialled these and met with the expert again to reflect on the success of the materials and associated strategies.
The project led to improved performance in academic reading and writing in science, geography, maths and English for EAL pupils in KS4. Teachers outside the intervention group accessed successful resources and strategies to support the development of academic language skills with EAL students.
