Children are given several nouns which are useful in the classroom, for example; pencils, paper, table and Miss Starling-Bayliss. Children have 10 minutes with the iPad to take photos of these objects or people to develop their English and reading abilities!

EAL - Using games to develop language skills

By Louise , Lauren and Zoe

Learning about a variety of languages in the classroom is a great way to educate pupils on different languages and some of the simpler words! It helps improve all of the pupil’s languages and can be incredibly engaging. It allows the pupil who has English as an additional language to teach others whilst improving their own confidence, whilst widening the vocabularies of the other pupils.

Activity - Get the child with English as an additional language to talk about their first language and teach the other pupils in the class some of the basic words, e.g. pencil, pen, house, brother, sister etc. Get the pupil to use personal examples, e.g. bring in photos of their family and different traditional objects they own.

Based upon my experiences of teaching children who have EAL, integrating drama and technology can be a useful supportive mechanism for children learning EAL.
I have attached an example of an activity which involves a pair of children recording a video on an iPad which demonstrates one or two different emotions.

If the school has the computer program Widgit, this would highly benefit an EAL child. I have been using when on placement with EAL and SEN children, as they can visualise what is going on. It has been used for group activities and whole lessons.

One way to support EAL pupils is by providing resources such as a 'Pocket Book' (something they can flick through).

A pocket book is a 'mini book' that will  support the pupil in their academic writing. It will provide multiple examples of 'Sentence starters', e.g for Science, ' I predict that...' or 'I learnt that...' The pocket book can also include 'Sentence frames' e.g. when concluding an experiment 'The difference between _____ and _____.'

In addition, any topics of writing the pupil is struggling with can be added.

Celebrate the cultures and languages of EAL children! This could be in the form of a classroom/school display, including their language e.g. saying good morning in different languages, getting a parent (if happy to) come in and lead a lesson (can help the other children to experience what it is like to learn a new language, which is likely to help them understand what an alien concept it is), get the EAL children to speak about where they come from (if confident) and think about the similarities and differences between the cultures.

Children can be given a template with the word in English in a box, then asked to draw or write in their first language the meaning of the word. (Please see the image for an example) Any gaps can be identified and the child can be supported in learning and understanding these words

Strategies for supporting children with eal

One simple idea you could to support students with EAL.

# data[].attributes.body
We want all children to feel safe and secure in school, it must be hard for an EAL learner to suddenly come into class not knowing anybody. So if a word bank of simple phrases has been created for the class teacher and the children to use to allow the EAL child to settle into class then learning will be easier for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Create displays in prominent parts of the school signposting children to peer support. Ambassadors would need to be recruited, trained and supported on an ongoing basis to undertake the role, possibly with parental consent.
Under the ambassador's photo, there could be a message of welcome and support in the child's first language, encouraging children who would like support to approach them via the class teacher.
There could be regular communications to the school community about this scheme through the website, newsletters, assemblies, school welcome packs etc
