🌍💬 An Insightful Experience on Language and Learning 💬🌍

This week, two of our incredible students delivered two powerful presentations to staff, offering a unique perspective on what it’s like to be an EAL (English as an Additional Language) learner.

🗣️ One presentation was spoken in English, with the slides written in Russian.
🎥 The second was a video delivered entirely in Russian.

The aim? To help staff understand the real challenges EAL students face trying to read content in one language while listening in another. It was a powerful reminder of how we can all be more mindful when planning and delivering lessons for our EAL learners.

A huge thank you to the staff who attended and asked thoughtful questions, and a special well done to the students who presented with such confidence and purpose. It was an inspiring experience for all involved!

On Thursday, members of Idsall’s EAL Club (English as an Additional Language) warmly welcomed Shrewsbury Academy’s M&M Club for lunch and a fantastic meet-up!

The students hit it off straight away, enjoying lunch together before heading to the main hall for an incredible cultural dance performance by the M&M Club - a real highlight of the visit! 💃✨

It was amazing to see friendships blossoming after just 90 minutes, with everyone already excited about meeting again soon. We’re hopeful to visit Shrewsbury Academy in October!
