This research report 'Writing in English as an additional language at Key stage 2' builds on an earlier, OFSTED funded project by the same author (Cameron 2003) into EAL writing at Key Stage 4.
The DfES commissioned researchers from the University of Leeds to conduct research into the writing of pupils at Key Stage 2 (KS2) who use English as an additional language (EAL) and who are defined as 'advanced learners', in that they have been in the UK for at least 5 years.
