[eal-bilingual] Using foreign language websites in school

Hermione
Depending on the students' ages you might find it useful to get them to 
watch the Childline net video presentation which is available in 7 languages 
including BSL, Arabic, Mandarin, Polish, Gujerati, Panjabi, Bengali and 
Urdu.  The short presentations really major on internet safety and 
responsible use of resources.  Although they are designed for parents, older 
students would probably respond quite well. These are freely downloadable 
resources.  You can  watch them at 
http://www.childnet-int.org/kia/parents/cd/ choosing the quick overview 
versions which are available to view in all the above languages although I 
couldn't get the PDF text version of each to work.
Schools can also order free packs for themselves and parents through the 
DfES which I think includes the text various language versions but you may 
want to check before you bulk order.  Order details are

Maintained school in England (both primary and secondary) can order bulk 
quantities of Childnet's 'Know IT All for Parents' CD-ROM free of charge for 
distribution to parents or use in schools. To order ring DfES publication on
