    Thanks for these helpful posts. Our team of three will be asked to present some of what we’ve learnt to the staff. These are great ideas about where to start.

    My school doesn’t use the EAL continuum or EAL reports, so I am very interested in this topic. A team of three is currently doing the ‘TEAL’ three day training, then we will be in a better position to present what we’ve learnt to the staff. The timing is good for us with the introduction of the new EAL curriculum.

    I did the ‘What did you do on the weekend?’ task with a student and then used the Oral assessment criteria sheet. I only teach this particular student once a week, along with his whole class, so it was very interesting to have a one-on-one conversation with him. I haven’t noticed him participating in whole class discussions, and it’s not his day for ‘Show and Share’ when I’m there, so I haven’t observed him speaking in front of the whole class. However, one-on-one, he spoke clearly with good sentence structure, needing some encouragement to elaborate. As someone who is not familiar with the EAL continuum stages, I would say he is progressing towards A2.
