Hear, Say, Show: EAL Strategies for Comprehension and Participation
You don’t need to be an EAL specialist to have EAL students who are struggling, and you don’t need a language qualification to help them properly.
Here is something most mainstream teachers don’t realise: a student who looks lost during instructions, goes quiet when asked to write, or never speaks up in discussion isn’t necessarily struggling with the content. Often it’s the language getting in the way, and there are specific, everyday strategies that address each of these separately.
Designed for mainstream secondary teachers with no EAL background, this hands-on workshop is built around three sessions: comprehension, production and participation. In each one, you will see practical strategies demonstrated, understand why they work, and consider how to use them with your own classes. You will come away with concrete strategies you can use immediately, whatever subject you teach.
