Students in UK schools who speak a language other than English as their first language are referred to as EAL (English as an Additional Language) learners. They are typically immersed in an English-speaking atmosphere. They are required to learn the English language while also learning curriculum subjects alongside, which can be exceedingly challenging for the learner, teachers and the school.
The quicker an EAL pupil learns English and goes into mainstream schooling, the less they fall behind academically. Quickly adopting the English language also improves the pupil’s well-being as they begin to make friends, join clubs and interact better with other students and the wider community.
Learning English using EAL (English as a second language) resources by EMAS UK scaffolds their academic learning whilst they learn the English Language. With proper adoption and implementation, schools have proven to accelerate students’ progress by up to a school year.

As an EAL coordinator in a secondary school, I have a large number of EAL pupils with very varied needs ranging from debutant to fluent. The Text Tutor tool has been invaluable to me in providing differentiated, translated resources for each pupil which I can then tailor to their individual needs as well as facilitating contact with parents. This vital tool enables each pupil to access the content of lessons when I am not there to help them. I have used it to translate keywords and instructions in many languages and in every secondary subject. This then enables EAL pupils to become more independent in their learning.

A resounding “yes please!”
Just what we need!
Please can we start ASAP, it revolutionised our conversations with two new pupils yesterday. They’ll feel bereft without it today!

“We are able to assess pupils on arrival in their own language; we track pupil progress closely, and the evidence is that non-English speakers supported by the EMAS methodology generally make the progression in about three to four months that otherwise, we would expect them to make in about a year”
