EAL Support Strategies Across the Curriculum

DATE:      Monday, 23rd February 2026
TIME:       7.00 pm to 8.00 pm
VENUE:   Online Via Zoom

Target Audience: Primary Teachers

In this webinar we will look at some ways to support plurilingal learners across the curriculum.  EAL learners are learning English, but also learning through English too.  Specific teaching strategies and resources are therefore needed to make the language of the curriculum accessible to plurilingual learners. 

I will share some adaptable approaches that will enhance language development and support full participation for every learners in your classroom. We will also look at some case studies and everyone will leave equipped with strategies ready to implement immediately.
