Implement sorting exercises for EAL students to enhance comprehension. For example, provide a list of quotes to categorise in a table based on Macbeth’s characteristics: Ambitious, Superstitious, Gullible. Include translations of the quotes and keywords for beginners.

Adaptive teaching for multilingual learners isn't about doing more - it's about noticing more. If a student is silent, lost or stuck, don’t assume they don’t understand ➡️respond with scaffolds: visuals, gestures, L1 use, sentence starters. #edutwitter #EAL #multilingual

Over the years, I've shared many resources on supporting multilingual learners. I've now compiled them into an 85-page booklet: some theory, loads of practical tools. DM your email address, if you'd like a copy! #edutwitter #EAL #MLs

The DfE Writing Framework offers strong guidance on writing development. 20% of pupils are multilingual&statements like: "Pupils’ grammar knowledge will be implicit from what they have learned as native speakers” risk overlooking the linguistic diversity in our classrooms. (1/3)

At our vibrant, multilingual school we’ve welcomed 30 new students this term- all but one multilingual. The label EAL tells us little; behind it are unique languages, literacies, journeys & stories. #EAL #Multilingualism
