About this title

Synopsis

This user-friendly resource provides clear guidance on supporting learners with EAL in early years settings, with reference to the 2017 EYFS statutory framework. The book gives a focus on the prime area of communication and language and addresses each of the following topics how children learn languages; helping children to settle-in; creating a suitable environment; adult-child interaction; building positive relationships with parents and carers; observation, assessment and planning; and working with children with communication difficulties. Parents and practitioners views and perspectives are included throughout the book to provide further insight, together with case studies from settings, to highlight real situations and share examples of good practice. The book also includes a resources section containing photocopiable home activity sheets and checklists, as well as lists of key words and phrases in some of the most commonly spoken languages in the UK.
