EAL: What every teacher needs to know about teaching pupils who use English as an additional language
Episode 152: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, we conclude our conversation with Dr Robert Sharples (Episode 151), a senior lecturer in language and education at the University of Bristol, about the challenges and opportunities of supporting pupils who use English as an additional language (EAL).
As part of the chat we discuss...
1. Are there any common misconceptions you encounter in the profession about pupils who speak English as an additional language?
2. Given the diverse nature of pupils defined as speaking English as an additional language, what would you want every teacher to know about how best to support these pupils?
3. You have worked on projects specifically relating to migrant learners and refugees and school leadership. What would you want every teacher and school leader to know about how to best support these pupils?
4. Other than your excellent book, 'Teaching EAL: Evidence-Based Strategies for the Classroom and School', are there any other resources that you would direct teachers towards to help them support pupils who speak English as an additional language?

Customer Reviews
The best primary education podcast
Top quality, evidence informed primary focused CPD.
Valuable Insights
I am quite new to the podcast and am ‘binge’ listening to catch up. I have been a primary teacher for over 30 years and still learn something new every episode. Keep up the good work.
Love it
This shoe just improves and becomes more informative and on point with each new episode. These guys really have their finger on the pulse of what is going on in school and there is always a lot to take away and think about. I really like the accessible, humble and friendly manor between the hosts too. Listening to the podcast feels like you are in a pub with mates. Highly recommend
