Summary:

Part 1: What it is like for EAL learners in a primary classroom? Beverly and Ruth are newly arrived from the Philippines. It's the summer term in their rural primary school where, unlike their city counterparts, the staff have little previous experience of teaching EAL learners. The school decides to give them a chance to settle in and builds a relationship with their families. Although English is taught in the Philippines, it is difficult for the girls to cope all day every day at school. The headteacher enlists advisory help to assess both girls. It is clear that Beverly and Ruth face different challenges. We follow Beverly during literacy hour and an exercise session, see Ruth trying to find her feet in science group work, and find them both on the playground pleased to be talking in Tagalog. How will the school ensure that they are not falling behind with their learning?
