Increasingly we are welcoming pupils into our schools for whom English is an Additional Language, and this cohort of students often have the same prevalence of SEND as the English speaking cohort. So how can we tease apart what might be causing their difficulty with learning?
In this training we will look at some of the similarities and differences faced by pupils learning in a different language and those for whom English is their first language, and how you can identify whether the difficulty is due to their language or an underlying learning need.
