| Teaching in England - EAL The term EAL is used when referring to pupils whose main language at home (mother tongue) is a language other than English. The child could well know some English and will probably have been born in the UK. Effective support for pupils learning EAL should be part of a co-coordinated 'whole-school' approach to meeting the needs of individual pupils. |  | |

Although there are no national statistics available, many of these pupils join schools and classes with limited or very little knowledge of English. Whatever their diverse backgrounds, they share a common and 'distinctive task' which is to 'catch up' with a moving target by learning an additional language whilst simultaneously learning National Curriculum content, skills and concepts. | | |
