Description
Our suite of Additional Support for Learning programmes is carefully designed to meet the professional needs of teachers and other professionals who are involved in supporting learners with additional support needs. All our programmes have been recently revised and are delivered by staff who are experts and practitioners in their field.
This programme is targeted to English as a Second/Additional Language teachers, mainstream teachers with bilingual children in their classes and bilingual support teachers. It aims to provide appropriate support to facilitate access to the curriculum for bilingual learners.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will acquire skills, confidence, assertiveness and knowledge of the field in order to operate proactively and strategically within schools.
They will become aware of the linguistic and cultural demands of the curriculum and be able to assess and monitor the learner's progress in terms of academic achievement and language proficiency.
In addition, they will develop the ability to influence the development of school policy so that bilingual learners and their families are not excluded from the full range of opportunities that the school offers.
Contents
Learning is delivered through lectures, seminars, small-group discussions and skill-development sessions. An emphasis will be placed on experiential learning and course members will be encouraged to share feelings and experiences, with opportunities being presented for the practice and review of relevant skills.
