  • *Partnership teaching is an efficient and effective use of the expertise of EAL practitioners. It can include a range of activities:

    • Working collaboratively with subject teachers in ‘mainstream’ classrooms to meet the needs of EAL learners.
    • A plan–do–review action research cycle.
    • A partnership of experts – one in a subject and the other in EAL teaching.
    • A partnership that recognises the distinctiveness of EAL.
    • The teacher as researcher.
    • A whole–school approach to meeting the needs of EAL pupils.
    • Constructing a compelling learning experience.
