Language and Learning Support

As a school with a population of students from across the globe, some students may require English as an Additional Language (EAL) support to access the curriculum and reach their potential. The EAL programme equips students with the English language skills they need to access the mainstream curriculum and the interpersonal communication skills they need to function socially and academically, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Support for EAL learners is provided through a combination of intensive sessions, in-class and withdrawal support through:

• Early Years Enrichment

• Super Intensive EAL

• Individual Support

• Small Group Support

• In-Class Support

• Frontloading

TES follows the wave model of inclusion, where classroom integration is the preferred goal, but may require more specialized support. The wave model of inclusion in education involves three levels of support:

• First Wave: Universal instruction for all students, using varied teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles.

• Second Wave: Targeted interventions for students who need additional support beyond universal instruction, often in small groups.

• Third Wave: Intensive, individualized interventions for students who require more specialized assistance.

This model emphasizes flexible and responsive support, allowing students to move between levels as their needs change. It aims to provide an inclusive educational environment for all students.
