[eal-bilingual] Sharing good practice

Last chance to book on the Collaborative Learning Project workshop to 
translate and transliterate collaborative activities into first 
languages. So far we will have Bengali, Polish, Punjabi, Slovakian, 
Turkish and Yoruba booked for the workshop  and both primary and 
secondary teachers are attending. All the details can be downloaded 
from;

If you live in the London area and are concerned about making your 
pupils independent readers enjoying reading for pleasure then you might 
be interested in the next LATE evening session at the Institute of 
Education on 6th March. Details can be found at 
www.late.org.uk
What is LATE? The London Association for Teaching English has been 
going for over 50 years and is a supportive network of teachers and 
teacher trainers working for both primary and secondary to share good 
practice and raise issues.  It is a very EAL conscious group and many 
of the workshops are EAL oriented. LATE runs regular Saturday 
conferences which feature national speakers and attract 40 - 80 
participants, regular evening sessions and a residential conference at 
Stoke Rochford in June. Everyone is welcome to attend. LATE is 
affiliated to NATE.

Since I was involved in the development and dissemination of 
Partnership Teaching Project in 1989-90, I am interested in how this 
concept has embedded itself and maybe transmogrified itself as it has 
moved from Partnership Teaching to partnership teaching. If you are 
currently involved in and pleased with your partnership teaching work, 
I would be very pleased to hear from you so that I can begin to build 
up some case studies and start to write and little history of the 
project.

Best wishes, 

Stuart
