Access and engagement in modern foreign languages - EAL

This guidance applies these principles to the teaching and learning of MFL for pupils learning EAL. It suggests strategies to help teachers support pupils at different points of learning English:

• to develop their understanding and use of the English language
• to enhance their learning in MFL lessons

The guidance also considers how pupils' self-esteem can be developed. Pupils cannot derive full benefit from their MFL lessons unless social aspects of their learning are taken into account. The Strategy has high expectations for all pupils, and the inclusion of pupils learning EAL is a fundamental principle.
