Paying attention only to certain aspects of newly arrived children’s needs, even if resulting provision is of good quality, may be ineffective because other unacknowledged factors are impeding their engagement and achievement.

friendsa place where they are valued and belongrecognition of their skills and talentsthe chance to quickly feel part of the

Things that refugee young people say help them
Having friendships and people to trust Caring, supportive and friendly teachers who
are confident and interested in teaching children and young people from diverse backgrounds
Being included in all activities Opportunities to do activities with refugee and
non-refugee peers, both in and out of schoolBeing in a school that values and celebrates
other cultures
![Page 16: ITE session Teaching new arrivals. To increase awareness of the reasons new arrivals from overseas join schools at non-standard times To look at effective.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cae5503460f94971598/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Teachers need to:Engage refugee pupils with a relevant
curriculum Develop effective teaching and learning
strategies and make early interventions to tackle underachievement
Promote the participation of refugee pupils in all aspects of school life and the involvement of parents where their views are actively sought
![Page 17: ITE session Teaching new arrivals. To increase awareness of the reasons new arrivals from overseas join schools at non-standard times To look at effective.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cae5503460f94971598/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The critical test of inclusion
Managing transition Adaptation is a mutual process Schools must be willing to make
changes
![Page 18: ITE session Teaching new arrivals. To increase awareness of the reasons new arrivals from overseas join schools at non-standard times To look at effective.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cae5503460f94971598/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A positive inclusive ethos recognises the support needed for refugees. A positive ethos where belonging and identity is supported may more readily be achieved in a situation where the young people and staff come from a diverse range of ethnic, linguistic and religious backgrounds.
A positive ethos

Five ways to help children and young people feel safe and welcome

Activating prior knowledge
Activating prior knowledge helps create links between what is known in the first language with the new learning, either linguistic or curricular
Research indicates that fluency in the home language helps pupils achieve in English
![Page 28: ITE session Teaching new arrivals. To increase awareness of the reasons new arrivals from overseas join schools at non-standard times To look at effective.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cae5503460f94971598/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Five ways to support use of home languages1. Make labels, signs and displays2. Encourage talk about things read, written
or watched in other languages3. Involve parents and multilingual members
of staff4. Encourage peer learning activity
discussion and role play in LI where appropriate
5. Encourage use of bilingual dictionaries, dual language and mother tongue books

Acquiring EAL – key principles
EAL learners’ right of accessA secure environment where pupils are
valued, low anxiety levels and high expectations
EAL learners acquire English best through interaction with other users of English
The first language has an important role in the acquisition of additional language
Cognitively challenging learning experiences
![Page 30: ITE session Teaching new arrivals. To increase awareness of the reasons new arrivals from overseas join schools at non-standard times To look at effective.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cae5503460f94971598/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Planning for EAL learners
Part of whole class approach Relevant, motivating and culturally
inclusive learning contextsOpportunities for speaking and listeningConsideration to language demands,
maximising visual supportActivating prior learningEAL Staff involved in planning
![Page 31: ITE session Teaching new arrivals. To increase awareness of the reasons new arrivals from overseas join schools at non-standard times To look at effective.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cae5503460f94971598/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Listening in, not tuning out
Plan activities that allow new arrivals to:Listen in to peer talkDo practical activities where they can use
English safely
![Page 32: ITE session Teaching new arrivals. To increase awareness of the reasons new arrivals from overseas join schools at non-standard times To look at effective.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cae5503460f94971598/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Group and collaborative activities
Tasks that involve purposeful use of language
For example sorting and organising information

The role of support staff
Support staff are central to helping newly-arrived children get off to a good start. They help by:
Getting to know pupils Visiting families Integrating newly-arrived pupils into school and
classroom life Facilitating pupils’ acquisition of English Acting as an advocate for pupils from a
knowledge of their strengths and skills

Working with parents
“In the case of mobile children, parents/carers become the force for continuity, and the importance of parental involvement in protecting children from any adverse effects of mobility (needs to be) stressed.”
