How can we better support EAL children when we’re only measuring whether they speak another language at home but not their level of proficiency in English? Actually, the latter is the most powerful predictor of their achievement and key to delivering effective, tailored classroom support for them 🙌. Find out more in our latest research📝 with @OxfordDeptofEd Steve Strand @stevestrand5⬇️ #EAL #EnglishProficiency #InclusiveEducation #EdResearch #SupportingEAL #EducationPolicy
.@BellFoundation director Diana Sutton says the increasing number of pupils with EAL across the sector means we must do more to understand their needs

Proficiency in English for #EAL pupils has the biggest impact on their attainment, explaining 4-6 times as much variation as gender, free school meals and ethnicity combined. Assessing proficiency is a vital first step to delivering effective, tailored classroom support📚 Statutory assessment should be (re)introduced in England – as is already the case in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: Stay tuned🔔 ! Our new evidence on this is coming out next week.
