The Bell Foundation’s EAL Assessment Framework for Schools (version 1.1)

The Bell Foundation’s EAL Assessment Framework for Schools (version 1.1) is available free of charge to all schools in the UK.

Although the Department for Education (DfE) has removed the requirement for schools to report a Proficiency in English scale for all EAL pupils, NALDIC recommends that schools continue to assess learners for internal purposes.

The EAL Assessment Framework for Schools has been developed by a team of leading EAL Assessment experts led by Professor Constant Leung and is informed by robust academic research. They have also worked with teachers to ensure that it is classroom-friendly.
