At Saturday’s Conference, at Kings College London, Manny gave a lively and entertaining keynote presentation about how to use EAL assessment effectively.
He gave an example of assessing an EAL Beginner and putting together a step by step programme of teaching to support that student in achieving full linguistic competency. This case study illustrated all the challenges of linking local EAL fluency stages to national and international measures such as CEFR new standards as well as new GCSE bands and IELTS.
As always, Manny was informative and practical, linking EAL assessment to on-going EAL classroom teaching. We are glad to have Manny on our HLS Training team and you will find a video of this on the NALDIC website, www.naldic.org.uk
