Using visuals is a good thing! Here is an infographic on how to support EAL students within the mainstream classroom. Fully editable.

This is a powerpoint with the four Ts to promote independent learning: THINK, TEXTBOOK, TEAM, TEACHER. I've made these up based on the 4 Bs (brain/buddy/book/boss). I like the Ts better - but then, I would, wouldn&'t I? And there definitely is no apostrophe! I&';ve added the 4 Ts on one sheet.

This is a ppt with basic information about the main candidates. The description comes first, then the names fly in, giving your students a chance to name the candidates. There are some tasks, including a true and false activity. Lots of images to promote discussion.

This is an EAL newsletter for staff that is fully editable. I have included boxes for a 'student of the month&' feature and an interview with a member of staff. This was very welI received at my school and we had a competition to choose a name for the newsletter. We are undecided between The ReadEMA&'; and 'The Chitchat&'. I will be uploading issue 2 very soon!

This is a list of things to ensure that EAL pupls particpiate as fully as possible in mainstream lessons.

It’s a worksheet about the recent school strike. It is designed for EAL learners but may be of wider use, maybe in Citizenship or tutor period. I’m sure we don’t want them all downing pens, but knowledge is power!

This is a ppt of 40 slides, exploring the reasons why there are so many words in English. It takes a brief look at the historical reasons, but concentrates on language awareness exercises. There are gap fill, true or false and rearrange the letters exercises, as well as picture description and comprehension questions. Finally, the students are invited to create some new words. This is intended for EAL, but most slides are suitable for native speakers.
