Good Practice in the Bilingual/Trilingual Classroom - Powerpoint

Useful for Inset.
Training Powerpoint to support all staff in creating and developing resources to support learning of their area.
For all Staff
Used to train hundreds of Teachers and Support staff in many schools across the UK.
Whilst teaching in London I had classrooms where many learners were emerging or new language learners . It quickly became evident that they needed to learn the language of the school quickly as exam were important and they needed to access them.
Therefore I introduced a new method of communicating where you take what the learners already knows in their own language and just convert the words. This can run alongside the provision for EAL where they learn the language.
Our child had been taught in Welsh and struggled with English but no help was given even though other languages like Hindi and Greek were catered for.
I knew she already knew words in Welsh she just needed to learn the equivelant in English.
