Bilingual pupils need more help to succeed
While many bilingual students were able to demonstrate good understanding of learning in practical work in the classroom, they experienced many difficulties in expressing themselves in written English. Curriculum managers need to be aware of this to ensure that the extent of the problem is not being masked for teaching staff.Given one in 10 students have English as an additional language, with 300 different languages being spoken by pupils across London schools, and 200 by young people throughout the rest of the country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this is an issue that cannot be ignored.Could do better Two out of three schools are failing to fully understand the barrier to success that the complex language used in exams is causing for bilingual pupils. To be successful, these students need to be given opportunities to develop predictive, analytical and lateral thinking skills, say the inspectors. Only one-fifth of subject teachers in the schools and colleges inspected used inclusive teaching and learning strategies that took account of the language and literacy needs of these students,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], indicating that curriculum managers need to be doing more to ensure all subject staff are being inclusive in their approach.Other areas where schools were found to be negligent included not analysing students’ linguistic backgrounds or the impact bilingualism had on their academic achievement. Schools that did do this were then able to provide appropriate resources to help these students to achieve. In too many schools, the use of the EAL or language support teacher was ineffective. Also, the transfer of information on students’ language and literacy profiles was poor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which meant that pupils would have to undergo further linguistic screening when transferring at 16. Subject teachers should also be doing more to make use of these language profiles to inform their teaching strategies to ensure they are providing for the specific needs of these students.Good practice The report includes a number of examples of good practice, which will give curriculum managers ideas of strategies that might be successful for their own bilingual students. Some of these are listed in the box right.Download the report Raising the achievement of bilingual learners – background information via: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The Court of Appeal pointed out that R and F's submission in the county court was of overt, conscious racism, and it was not prepared to find that there had been unconscious discrimination.The decisionThe Court of Appeal said that, unlike the ordinary civil claim where the judge decides, on the claimant's evidence only, whether the claimant has made out a case, in this case the judge had had the benefit of the whole of the evidence. Despite the school's failure to comply with the statutory requirements, the judge had been entitled to find on the basis of all the evidence that R and F had not proved racial discrimination.
