In this podcast we discuss the EAL programme at EtonHouse International School. English as an Additional Language(EAL) learning caters to students whose native language isn't English and require assistance to develop proficiency in the English language. Students come from diverse backgrounds, and in keeping with the IBO's philosophy of intercultural understanding and respect, EtonHouse recognises that learning an additional language together with maintaining the student's mother tongue is essential as language is our means of thinking and communicating.  How do we get students well equipped in the language so that they can take an active role in the classroom and maintain a seamless pathway towards their higher education?

We speak to Kieran Macken, EAL coordinator and teacher at EtonHouse Orchard to find out more.
