“ I feel I don’t speak any language well. At home I speak Bengali but I can’t say everything I want to say in it, while at school I speak English and there are lots of things I don’t understand. I have been asking people to teach me to read and write properly since Year 7 and they just say you are doing fine, but I am not. I don’t have any language!”
Best Practice (Good Thinking!)What is the big idea?
EAL learners need grammar lessons to improve”
“Teach them English first so they can do my class”
“Can you take them out and do the work “
“Simplify it, so they can do it”
