Clicker: Empowering EAL learners in the primary classroom
How can technology support children learning English as an additional language, and help them to access the primary curriculum?
We’ll be joined by our Curriculum Specialist Jo Gibbins to explore how the multi-sensory support that Clicker offers, along with its ready-made resources, empowers EAL learners to access lesson content alongside their peers and rapidly develop their English language skills.
The webinar will explore:
- How Clicker supports English Language Learners – through speech feedback for modelling, picture support for visual reinforcement, and activities to develop early language skills.
- Our bank of free subject-specific resources that make the primary curriculum more accessible for EAL learners, including engaging Clicker Books, Matching Sets to support emergent readers, Talk Sets to develop speaking and listening skills, and Sentence Sets and Connect Sets to support the first steps in writing.
- Focused activities for new arrivals and for developing English language, including our ‘New to English’ resources to help children build essential first vocabulary and early sentence structure skills.
- Additional resources to support the mental wellbeing and emotional expression of EAL children, acknowledging that many come from countries where there is conflict and have experienced trauma.
Registrants can join the webinar from 3:30pm onwards, but it will start promptly at 3:45pm.
