below their potential. The course covers: • Identifying the continuing language learning needs of more advanced EAL pupils • Explore speaking and listening strategies that allow more advanced learners to extend and practise their oral language using higher order vocabulary when speaking • Reading and writing strategies to support the development of the higher level language skills needed for academic progress • planning for language learning across the curriculum |
