Primary Languages, Literacy and EAL.

Last Wednesday I took part in a day for Language Coaches in Birmingham. The afternoon session was given over to looking at links between Primary Language Learning, EAL and literacy, and we were fortunate to have Joe Brown from CILT to address us.

I did try to blog as I went along but kept getting distracted from writing by getting involved in the talk so, when I looked back at the pictures I'd taken, I decided to reflect back by making a slideshow in Keynote.



At the end, it seems a minute of audio has disappeared - probably because I hit a button prematurely! - in which I was saying that Joe told us about a number of research projects going on, looking at PLL and literacy.

  • storytelling
  • the language of Maths
  • APP writing
  • motivation
  • talk for writing
  • Training the Trainers Module 9


All sounds very exciting and I await the results with anticipation. You can catch Joe speaking at PLS in Liverpool in two weeks time!

Blogger doesn't like my videos, Youtube don't like 17 minute clips, Slideshare is very temperamental and thank heavens for Garageband!)
