Bilingual Pupils with SEN

If bilingual pupils are having difficulty accessing the curriculum it is important that schools are able to establish if the difficulty is because of a possible learning difficulty or a language difficulty due to their lack of experience in using English.

The following publication 'Bilingual Pupils with Special Educational Needs - Assessment and Intervention' written by Raz Alpren and Judith McCall is a very good resource which will help teachers to carry out different assessments of bilingual pupils and provides photocopiable resources and lots of useful strategies for whole school approaches, parents, expressive language difficulties, comprehension difficulties, reading and writing difficulties.

This publication can be ordered by phoning 01438 843992 (MECS).
