English as an additional language
Description
Maggie Webster, Senior Lecturer Primary Education at the Faculty of Education, Edgehill University, delivers a lecture on teaching English as an Additional Language. Drawing on current research, Maggie identifies the EAL pupil, explains the context in the classroom and the barriers they have to overcome. She then explains how to support EAL pupils and discusses the merits of Immersion or Bilingualsm before moving on to how the use of language and visual keys can be used to aid understanding. Maggie will give practical examples using key ITE texts as well as examples from real school situations, thereby linking theory to practice.
