Supporting EAL children through creativity

 

Earlier this academic year, Artis hosted a free online CPD for primary school teachers, showcasing creative approaches to supporting multilingual learners in the classroom. We offered ideas for arts-based activities that you can integrate into your teaching toolkit to enhance communication and oracy skills within children using English as an additional language.

The performing arts can be a wonderful way to communicate when words are not accessible, empowering children to speak through movement, music and drama. Arts can bring people of all nationalities and languages together, fostering good relationships and improving learning outcomes!

Following our creative CPD, we’re thrilled to present a resource to help you support EAL learners in your classroom.

We have seen a monumental difference in the pupil’s engagement and participation with Artis sessions that are not seen in the classroom lessons.

  Anthony Wilkinson, Behaviour Support Worker, Parklands Primary
 

The arts hold the power to reflect, to motivate and to bring us to our highest possible selves. Without the arts we are but two dimensions.

  Kwame Kwei-Armah, Artis Patron
 

Because of the arts, the learning experiences at Pakeman are much richer and the children are much happier.

  Emma Bonnin, Head, Pakeman Primary
 

I don’t think you can really invest in anything better than the arts because that’s about how we see each other and ourselves.

  Nitin Sawhney, Artis Patron
 

It has been great to see many of our children grow in confidence over the year.

  Emily Baggot, Teacher, Wheelers Lane Primary
 

Artis helps us to deliver our curriculum in a way that allows the children to be really engaged. And it is absolutely fantastic to watch them do that.

  Ciara Parris, Head, Links Primary
 

It has been so rewarding for our children to work with Artis. If you are reading this wondering whether you should make the decision to bring them into your school, do it. Our children love working with Beebop, it is great for their mental wellbeing and enriches our curriculum. Our staff love it too!
