1. EAL - Ideas for a television programme - www.libratelevision.com 

Libra specialise in education and children’s programmes and have been asked by Teachers TV to make 2 programmes looking at EAL, next term. The only guidance they have had from Teachers TV is that they don’t want us to cover anything they have already done in previous programmes, which actually seems to be a quite lot. Below are the topics they have already covered.

Assessing speaking ability
Assessing writing ability
Classroom techniques for EAL
Whole school environment for EAL
Induction ideas for EAL
EAL and MFL
EAL for nursery and reception support staff
Stage 2 SATS and EAL
Gifted & Talented and EAL
Maths and EAL
Language Development, Science and EAL
Slow progress at KS2 and EAL
Puppets and pupil translators 
EAL and parents
And 8 other programmes focusing on individual case studies (personal stories)

Looking at the list above, is there anything anyone is doing that doesn’t involve these areas? Anyone who is doing something different and would be interested in making a programme about it can send an email to leekitchen at libratelevision.com . I look forward to hearing from you.
