Theme: The multilingual child in the classroom
Convenor/s: Susan Stewart
This Special Interest Group will be an opportunity for beginner teachers who are undertaking their training year to meet once a term to discuss their experiences working with multilingual children and communities, share best practice and network within a language-focused teaching community.
The multilingual child in the classroom
In classrooms all over the UK (and indeed all over the world), we find pupils who use more than one language on a daily basis. Some of these pupils are also new to learning in English. In this meeting we will look at how our multilingual pupils process language when they are learning content as well as building their literacy skills in English. We will consider how we can use all of their languages to support their learning and enrich the classroom in the process.
