Typical class instructions can be a barrier to learning for EAL learners.
Classroom Instructions often include complex grammar, unnecessarily difficult words and phrases, phrasal verbs and idioms an EAL learner must get through to find the actual instructions.
Use simple, short, concise and clear sentences omitting any unnecessarily difficult words and phrases.
This is is even more important to remember when giving instructions on Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams.

# data[].attributes.body
Have each teacher sit the EAL learner near the front, where they can see the teacher’s face straight on.

This will ensure the learner can hear properly and pick up visual clues from facial expression.

Sit the learner next to supportive peers (ideally those with English as their first language) who have been briefed to include and support them and allow them to work together at certain points in the lesson. This will help EAL learners to develops BICS.

The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) is the mandatory assessment required by Department of Education (DE) to assess the level of English of all pupils designated as Newcomers to access funding. It is a set of benchmarks for English language acquisition; used to identify what pupils can do, monitor progress and plan for language learning.

CEFR has 4 levels; Pre-A1, A1, A2 and B1 in skill areas of Listening, Reading, Speaking & Writing.

When a pupil has achieved all the benchmarks at B1, across all skill areas, and the pupil is able to participate fully in class, then he/she is no longer considered a newcomer pupil.
