EAL – Bell Foundation: Using Comprehensible English – for primary school staff

• This 90 minute twilight session will be delivered online by a trained and experienced Bell Foundation Lead Practitioner (BFLP).
• We will raise awareness of what is and what is not comprehensible, accessible English Language for learners who use EAL, particularly those who are new to English or in the early acquisition stages.
• We consider what makes English difficult to understand and introduce a range of easy-to-use strategies for giving instructions and checking understanding which can be used both in and out of the classroom.
• The content is relevant and will develop understanding for all members of staff within a primary school setting, such as administrators, support staff, teachers and senior leadership teams.
