Abstract
Learning in 2+ Languages aims to help practitioners working with bilingual learners by identifying good practice in supporting young people whose first language is not English to access the curriculum through English as an additional language (EAL).
The purpose of this resource is to identify good practice in supporting children who are accessing the curriculum through English as an additional language (EAL). There have recently been considerable changes in legislation and policy that impact on support for bilingual learners. The main changes have focused on encouraging educational establishments to be more proactive in addressing the learning needs, and raising the achievement of, bilingual learners.
This resource aims to support staff in educational establishments to understand better the strengths and development needs of bilingual learners and to address them more effectively within the mainstream classroom. The contents should also be helpful to educational managers and local authorities, as well as to other practitioners across the broader educational domain. Inclusion, race equality, cultural diversity, bilingualism and effective additional language provision must be considered by all educational establishments, regardless of their current ethnic composition.
This document is for support staff who work with bilingual children and young people as well as a range of practitioners across the broader educational domain working in English for speakers of other languages (ESOL).
