Training Courses

Bringing together specialists in English as an additional language, ethnic minority achievement and the teaching of academic language, the EAL Academy’s short courses offer training which is firmly rooted in whole school development, empowering teachers and leaders to effect change throughout the school.

The EAL Academy offers a range of courses for:

• Class teachers
• Teachers across the subject range
• EAL leads

School Based Training

All our short courses can be run in-school for multiple members of staff and tailored to your school’s particular needs.  This can be a very effective way of bringing about change across the school and ensuring all staff sign-up.  Our school-based training:

• provides training to as many staff as will benefit
• offers excellent value for money
• is a particularly effective way of ensuring a whole school approach
