Global Village, Global Voices Key challenges for a Secondary School –Valuing bi-lingual learners in the school community? –How can we best support bi-lingual learners in the classroom? –How best to work with EAL services to support staff and pupils in the school?

Messages from research which have informed Balwearie’s efforts Get learners into mainstream classes from the start (develop social language first) Learners acquire English best through tasks across the curriculum but be careful in how you build from social fluency to academic language Bi-lingual learners grasp of academic language may not progress in line with the demands of the curriculum

Balwearie High School/Fife EAL approaches to meeting needs Supporting bi-lingual learners –Gathering information (skills of EAL staff) –Support for pupils at different stages –Support for parents –Support for staff (building capacity) –Attainment/Achievement (use of ESOL) Diversity within the bi-lingual learner group –Learner stories (Natalia, Martina, Gabriella, Mark, Exchange students)

Balwearie bi-lingual learners – a progress report Strengths Promoting a welcoming and inclusive culture and ethos Making effective use of the expertise and skills of interpreters and EAL service Building capacity within school staff and using peer support to meet needs Communication with bi-lingual learners and their families Areas for improvement Class teacher awareness of strategies to support bi- lingual learners Opportunities for learners to use and develop their home language Making key information documents available in several languages
