Description

This panel webinar looks at a common question facing educators in multilingual classrooms: How can schools distinguish between EAL learners’ language acquisition and Special Educational Needs?

Led by FlashAcademy® with insights from experienced EAL educators, this session will explore:

  • The challenge of distinguishing between EAL and SEND in multilingual contexts

  • Where to start when EAL learners present with potential SEND

  • Effective processes and practical strategies to support accurate identification

Participants will leave with greater clarity and confidence in how to approach SEND decision-making for multilingual learners, supporting earlier, fairer and more accurate identification in both UK and international settings.

Our webinars and events are designed for primary and secondary educators supporting EAL and multilingual learners, including senior leaders, inclusion leads and EAL leads.
