Building Inclusive, Language-Aware Schools Across the FOBISIA Region

Building Inclusive, Language-Aware Schools Across the FOBISIA Region
 


EAL Inclusive is excited to be returning to the FOBISIA region twice during the 2026–27 academic year, with planned visits in both October and January. Schools interested in in-person CPD, consultancy, curriculum support, or leadership development are encouraged to get in touch early to discuss availability with Anna Leaman and Soofia Amin.

As international schools continue to welcome increasingly diverse student populations, many leaders are recognising that multilingualism is central to curriculum access, inclusion, student outcomes, and long-term school improvement.

In an increasingly competitive international school market, schools are also under growing pressure to demonstrate equitable opportunities for all learners. Families want to see that students can access high-quality teaching, participate confidently in the curriculum, and thrive academically regardless of linguistic background.

Multilingual learners bring rich linguistic knowledge, cultural perspectives, and cognitive strengths to the classroom. Effective multilingual provision helps schools ensure those strengths are recognised, developed, and reflected within everyday teaching and learning.

EAL Inclusive supports schools to strengthen inclusive, language-aware practice through strategic consultancy, coaching, and evidence-informed CPD that builds sustainable whole-school capacity.

Language-Led Literacy (LLL)

A year-long implementation programme focused on improving curriculum access through reading, writing, oracy, and disciplinary literacy.

Teachers use learner profiles, coaching, and collaborative implementation cycles to identify barriers, refine practice, and strengthen language-aware teaching across the curriculum.

Key outcomes include improved student participation, greater classroom consistency, and stronger teacher confidence.

Adaptive Pedagogy: An Asset-Based Approach

A whole-staff CPD model focused on practical adaptive teaching within multilingual classrooms.

Teachers analyse language demands, review pupil work, and adapt lessons to improve access while maintaining challenge and high expectations.

Key outcomes include increased staff confidence, more consistent inclusive practice, and stronger curriculum access across departments and phases.

EAL and Multilingualism: A Whole-School Approach

A strategic leadership programme focused on embedding multilingualism within teaching, curriculum design, inclusion systems, and school improvement priorities.

Leaders explore how to align provision, strengthen universal classroom practice, and build sustainable systems that support staff, students, and families over time.

Key outcomes include clearer strategic direction, stronger whole-school consistency, and greater confidence in responding to increasingly diverse student populations.

If your school is reviewing multilingual provision, strengthening inclusive teaching, or planning strategic CPD priorities for next academic year, we would be very happy to arrange an initial conversation while we are in the region.
