At TTLT we believe that promoting a multilingual approach provides schools with an asset based approach to languages and puts languages at the forefront of education. Believing that all languages have a place in education will create a space that is linguistically and culturally inclusive for all. Managing the smooth admission for children with EAL and establishing effective provision for them is a key priority for us and within the trust this area is led by Soofia Amin who has worked in this field for the past 20 years. Soofia is passionate about developing excellent practice for multilingual pupils whilst promoting their first languages as a resource in the classroom and the wider school. She has a wealth of experience in primary, secondary and further education delivering training and advising schools on supporting multilingual pupils and their families. Her work was recognised by the EAL Academy in 2020 through the EAL Quality Mark gold award As part of our Training Hub, we offer training on various strategies needed to develop a whole school approach to multilingualism, as well as being able to provide support and guidance to schools on this. We offer a range of services to support schools in delivering excellent EAL/Multilingualism provision. We also offer bespoke support in a variety of areas including INSET days, staff meetings, 1:1 support and support for EAL leads. MULTILINGUALISM The expertise provided by Soofia Amin not only equipped our trainee teachers with essential linguistic and cultural competencies but also empowered them to embrace the diverse linguistic assets of their pupils. The impact of this training was evident in the engagement and progress of our students. ALPHA TEACHING SCHOOL HUB It was interactive and interesting learning about different ways of looking at languages. Amazing Lesson! SCITTELS FEEDBACK 2025 The pioneering work of educational professionals, such as that conducted at Kensington Primary School in London, should serve as a model of multilingual pedagogy from an early age. Promoting multilingualism in language education contributes to preserving linguistic and cultural diversity. It acknowledges and values the richness of different languages and cultures, promoting inclusivity and creating a more equitable educational environment and a more inclusive, tolerant, and prosperous world.
