Emily Fritchley a colleague of mine and teaching assistant at school is currently collecting evidence for her dissertation about the support for EAL children in schools. I offered to write about it here as she is hoping for more responses for her work. There are only 8 questions in the survey (see the link below) and if you have the right information to hand it will take you less than 5 minutes. All responses would be welcome, not just from UK teachers.
Emily writes:
The purpose of this survey is to research the support that is provided for pupils with English as an additional language, in order to help to assess whether enough is being done for these children by schools, local authorities and the government.
EAL Pupils – A survey to research the support provided for EAL pupils
Emily and I would appreciate your thoughts and look forward to your responses.
