English as an Additional Language (EAL)
EAL Team
Mr Murray EAL Co-Ordinator | Mrs Taggart Newcomer Support EAL Teacher | Miss Davison Newcomer Support EAL Teacher |
At Ballymena Primary School we have a dedicated team of staff who ensure the development of the English language for children whose first language is not English. Children are taken out and given support on a 1-1 or small group basis where they engage in practical activites, games and lessons to promote the learning of the English langauge. In class, pupils are engagegd in work alongside their peers and are introduced to the Curriculum through class teaching.
