Social proof: testimonials

“Wonderful and practical advice and strategies to support a range of students. I love that I will be able to implement these things straight away!”

“It was wonderful to have so many tangible games and ideas to use for EAL learners and I can see how I can adapt these for different levels of EAL learners. The plethora of websites to support is really useful too. This course is rooted in research and best practice; it is a good reminder of how to be really inclusive and supportive to EAL learners AND the rest of the class.”

“Very informative with lots of practical advice and links to useful resources. This means that we can use the strategies and ideas straight away.”

“Such fantastic videos breaking down the needs of EAL children and providing excellent resources and fun games. We used it as part of our INSET training.”

“Excellent lessons with helpful and clear direction.”

“A really informative course with lots of practical tips to support EAL learners of all ages. I will definitely be using many of these strategies with my Year 1 class.”

“Thank you! There are so many things that I can implement straight away. There are lots of useful resources, too, that I can see will be helpful for all the children I work with. I work in EYFS and love the idea of getting parents in to tell a story and share a song in their home language. This course has reinforced my understanding of the importance of making an EAL child feel welcome, supporting them to build good relationships with adults and peers, and doing all we can to make them feel included by using the strategies suggested to break barriers to learning. Thank you again!”
