FlashAcademy® is proud to announce its latest initiative focusing on the critical link between English as an Additional Language (EAL) and wellbeing. With wellbeing at the heart of education, the campaign explores how effective EAL provision can nurture positive mental health and create brighter futures for learners.
Research consistently highlights the challenges faced by EAL learners, from feelings of inadequacy to experiencing stress during high-stakes testing. FlashAcademy®’s adaptive assessments and AI-powered tools are designed to address these issues, offering personalised support that reduces stress and builds confidence. By promoting inclusion and multiculturalism, schools can create environments where all learners thrive.
The campaign shares research-backed insights, personal stories and actionable strategies for schools to better support their EAL learners. It also showcases the transformative impact of a balanced focus on language learning and mental health, encouraging a shift towards a more compassionate and effective teaching style.
Key takeaways from the campaign:
- Teachers can address the stress caused by traditional, one-size-fits-all testing with fun and engaging adaptive assessments
- Involving families and communities in EAL education can enhance learner wellbeing
- Real-life stories from teachers highlight the impact of tailored EAL support
“Remember that EAL learners are climbing a mountain that is twice as high as anyone else’s.” – Hollie O’Sullivan, Associate Assistant Headteacher – EAL and Reading, Fortis Academy
