EAL Parent Workshop - EYI Campus

Thanks to all the parents who attended our EAL Parent Workshop at the EYI Campus on Thursday 18th October; we hope you enjoyed it! During the morning, we introduced the EAL team, provided an overview of how EAL works, promoted the use of first language use, gave some ideas for helping children at home, and invited parents to try out some EAL activities for themselves. We were delighted to see so many parents and appreciated their active participation in the event!

The EAL programme has 2 main aims:

• To build English confidence and competence inside and outside the classroom
• To support the transition from social English to academic English

The overarching goal is to lay a secure English foundation in order to maximize student learning and participation in BIS school life. EAL is a specialist English language programme for selected students and it’s our pleasure to work in partnership with parents in offering the best support we can for the wonderful students in our care. Below are some pictures from the event.
