Nearly all teachers work with EAL and bilingual learners at some point in their careers. Preparing new teachers to work with these learners is a vital component of effective initial teacher education, whether this takes place in a school, through an HE institution or through a work based route.

NALDIC supports effective initial teacher education through providing:

• high quality resources
• advice
• a programme of professional development events.

In this section, you will find resources for EAL in ITE.
