Episode Thirty-One - Multilingual Pupils and Creating Home-School Connections’
In this episode we interview Susan Stewart on the topic of ‘Multilingual pupils and creating home-school connections’. We will talk about engaging with parents in order to better understand pupils’ language portraits/profiles, how to encourage home language use, and how to tap into the cultural richness of multilingual families. Susan is Director at Articulate Multilingual and has lived and worked in South Africa, Thailand, the UAE, Belgium, Oman, Sweden and the UK. Susan has raised two bilingual children and is a lifelong learner of languages, speaking, to varying degrees, English, French, Dutch, German, Afrikaans, Swedish, Arabic and BSL. Susan has a background in international education, leading multilingual language programmes, and creating cohesive language curricula rooted in a research-driven practice.

Episode Thirty - Why It Works - Fostering Independence:
We are back with our Why It Works series and we’ve got Dr Robert Sharples here today and our very own Jo Thomson. We are focusing this episode on ‘What do I need to do differently to make this year a success’. I think a huge part of it is creating and developing independence in your EAL learners and in your staff to ensure you (if you’re listening as the EAL lead) don’t have to take all of the work on on our own.
