  • Problem

    Schools and educators often struggle to effectively support students who speak English as an additional language (EAL). Traditional approaches may not address the wide range of language abilities, cultural contexts, and individual learning needs, causing EAL students to fall behind academically and socially.

    Solution

    Heddle EAL provides targeted resources, strategies, and training to help schools and teachers meet the diverse needs of EAL learners. By focusing on practical, research-based methods—like structured language assessments, personalized learning plans, and continuous professional development—Heddle EAL enables educators to improve language instruction and foster inclusive, equitable classrooms for multilingual students.

    Sustainable Development Goals addressed

    Some facts:

    Fastest-growing EAL teacher community, active in 30+ countries.
