Case studies

published:July 2009

We have chosen four case studies to illustrate different aspects of the programme featured in our RfT summary. 

Case study 1 describes the professional development needed if teachers are going to make a difference to the achievement of English as an additional language (EAL) pupils.

The second case study describes the way in which a science teacher and a EMA specialist support teacher worked together to improve outcomes for learners with  EAL in science.

The third case study illustrates how parents and other adult volunteers can be helped to become more confident and proficient in reading with learners, including those with EAL.

The final case study provides an example of a school that developed effective whole-school practice in the teaching and learning of EAL pupils.
