- Summary:
- Bristol Metropolitan Academy has over 30 language backgrounds, children coming as immigrants or refugees from places like Somalia or Poland. Teaching these children brings challenges which 2 teachers at the school particularly relish. Basia Everett, a Pole & Deborah Lewisohn Aikman, an American both love their work. As strangers in a new country they empathise with the fears of their pupils & have both devised an approach which especially allows for students to express their feelings as well as learn English. Both teachers describe their motivations & why these have helped them work with children who can have emotional difficulties. Their teaching goes beyond language teaching, but also includes having their students feel they're in a safe place & encouraging the students to feel happy about their new country.
