Our Approach to English Language Support
EAL support is integrated into everyday classroom practice and complemented by targeted specialist support where needed.
Our EAL teachers:
- Build confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing
- Help students participate in lessons and school life
- Support academic language required for curriculum subjects
Targeted EAL Support
Our EAL support may include:
- Small-group EAL sessions
- Short-term withdrawal support focused on specific language skills
- Individualised language targets
- Support with academic vocabulary and subject-specific language
Identifying English Language Needs
Students who speak a language other than English at home may be assessed when they join TSI. This helps us understand their current level of English and determine the most appropriate support.
