EAL: Teaching and Learning Strategy: 9

Supporting the teacher

It is often difficult for the classroom teacher to find time during lessons to work with EAL students. When appropriate, teachers can ask TAs or other support staff to run the starter or plenary while he/she works with the EAL students. Or, a small group of students, working on a rota, can plan and deliver the starter while the teacher works with the EAL students; or with any other minority groups within the class who need additional help.

Mini whiteboards offer a good link between talking and writing. Students are able to ‘sketch’ and play with their written answers thanks to the impermanence. Errors can be easily wiped away!
