What works for teaching children whose home languages are not

Around 20% of school pupils in England have home languages other than English, yet their teachers feel under-prepared to meet their learning needs.Multilingualism is an asset, but the effort of needing to learn English at the same time as understanding the curriculum in English means that these pupils do not always do as well in school as their monolingual peers. Moreover, funding for teacher development for teaching multilingual pupils is very limited and the National Curriculum in England does not account for multilingual pupils in its guidance.
