Il y a 22 ans, le fiasco européen du RC Lens face à Gaziantepspor L’histoire d’un club est toujours faite de moments glorieux et d’autres qui l’ont beaucoup moins été. Il faut savoir se souvenir de tous. Ce jeudi, c’est l’anniversaire d’une confrontation européen…

What does the latest EAL pupil evidence mean for schools?

Our Director Diana Sutton explores the findings from our latest EAL research with @education.ox.ac.uk and what schools can do to support EAL learners to reach their potential.

'Our bilingual pupils are an asset': Teachers hit back at Farage immigrant comments Glasgow’s English as an additional language pupils are an asset to the city, say teachers appalled at the comments of Nigel Farage

Excellent response from @ealglasgow.bsky.social to #Farage.

"..the narrative that EAL learners are bringing attainment figures down is false as well..because..as young people get more fluent in their language, they actually outperform in the general figures."

Video interviews with teachers The latest research from the University of Oxford is a 10-year follow up to the first piece of research looking into the educational achievement of EAL pupils in England. It provides new evidence about how an EAL learners’ time of arrival at school can impact their achievement – and why assessing proficiency in English is essential for schools to understand and unlock their potential. In this video, teachers tell about the implications of the research for their work.

We've launched our latest evidence on EAL learner attainment with @education.ox.ac.uk.

This builds on 10 years’ worth of research and reinforces the importance of assessing proficiency in English.

We asked teachers for their key takeaways⬇️ bit.ly/vidcovsuf

Our latest evidence from @education.ox.ac.uk shows that the later an EAL pupil joins school, the harder it is for them to catch up in education.

Late arriving monolingual pupils do not face this same attainment penalty, however.

#Oracy is important for success in education and later in life.
For all pupils to benefit however, the specific needs of #EAL pupils must be considered.
Teachers must provide learners with a structured approach that exposes them to language and builds their confidence: https://bit.ly/4nSDEje

It is thought that some of those due to fly had lodged unsuccessful legal challenges against removal, but did not fly due to concerns raised from French authorities that the Home Office had not provided adequate notice of the vulnerabilities of some individuals, such as victims of trafficking and torture.

Can we just address the fact that the UK should not, under any circumstances, be detaining and forcibly removing victims of trafficking or torture to another country. This government is going to end up being the cause of death for already traumatized individuals.

As pupils return to school, #oracy skills have never been more important.

But how can teachers teach oracy skills to pupils who speak English as an Additional Language (EAL)?

Glynis Lloyd offers practical tips for primary schools to ensure an oracy-rich curriculum for multilingual learners:

The curriculum review is an important opportunity to reform a system that often fails to support EAL learners effectively.
We’re calling for more flexibility around learning and assessment, to support EAL students to learn English, and access the curriculum through English: https://bit.ly/4nSDEje

Education is not neutral: it’s time to stop pretending Strength of purpose in education, rather than timidity, is needed to craft the best possible schools

Team member @nuthmani.bsky.social writes about the urgent need for educators to embrace the fact that education IS political.

Silence is complicity

The silence from the education community, especially when so many 'stood' with Ukraine, is deafening
