| Abstract | Behavior guru Sue Cowley coaches a teacher taking a KS3 science lesson with some EAL students on lowering her voice, and using visual clues and repetition to help manage her class. Jan Williams, Head of Teaching and Learning at the International School and Community College in Birmingham is covering a science class of Year 8 EAL learners - who have proved challenging in the past - for the very first time. Sue coaches her to use students more fluent in English to explain tasks to others, and helps her adapt her skills for this smaller, more intimate group by lowering her voice and using more personal address and encouragement. Sue also highlights how Jan uses repetition and visual clues to make the learning less literacy dependent, and her use of active learning, such as the word search using the key scientific vocabulary to start the lesson. With the addition of Sue's coaching Jan's well-organised lesson ensures these EAL pupils are fully engaged with the learning. |
