EMTAS | Induction of Newly Arrived & EAL Pupils

Our EMTAS team are highly experienced in supporting pupils for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL), from a wide range of backgrounds, including pupils from asylum seeker and Roma backgrounds.
 

• We provide targeted in class provision as well as balanced 1:1 and group withdrawal, from early years to Key Stage 5.
• We are equipped to offer guidance and support in terms of policy and practice as well as initial and on-going assessment.
• We also offer a wide range of training within the area of EAL from whole school selfevaluation to working with non-teaching staff. 

Maintaining and developing the home language is crucial to support the academic attainment of our EAL pupils.

It is particularly important for those EAL learners in the Early Years and Key Stage One to develop the mother tongue. 

This message should be given to the parents and carers of our EAL students and is available in:

• English
• Arabic
• Mandarin and Cantonese
• Bengali
• Polish  
• Somali

We have produced a number materials to support the Induction of Newly arrived pupils and their families in the multilingual classroom.

In Liverpool, we have an amazing tapestry of languages which brings a rich linguistic diversity to our schools and settings. This paper has been written to provide additional guidance to support an effective admission and induction for our newly arrived pupils and their families.
