NALDIC works collaboratively with government and voluntary agencies, schools, EAL services and universities to promote the learning and teaching of EAL and multilingual learners.
EAL Bilingual
EAL-Bilingual is a well-established discussion forum for people who are interested in English as an Additional Language (EAL), multilingual education, or associated topics. The forum is mainly UK-based but we welcome engagement from all who are interested in this field. Bring your questions and share your research and practice!
EAL Bilingual is managed by NALDIC and you will need to tell us a little about your involvement/interest to support your request to join the group. EAL Bilingual cannot be used for commercial purposes.
