[eal-bilingual] EAL International Study

I am in the process of planning a potential international study visit for qualified primary level teachers looking at a wide variety of issuing concerning teaching English as an additional language within mainstream education. 

The idea is to visit either a largely English speaking country with a high number of non-native speakers or a country with a different first language with English on the mainstream curriculum and compare teaching/learning methods, resources and provisions with what we have in the U.K. If anyone on this list has any ideas as to specific learning objectives we could aim for, could point me in the direction of research already done in this area or would be interested in hearing about our findings please let me know. Thanks, Dave Lochtie
