GCSEs in first languages
The Ethnic Minority achievement Team (EMAT) support schools to prepare students with English as an additional language (EAL) to take GCSEs in their first languages. EMAT currently supports secondary schools with tuition, exam practice, and the delivery of speaking exams for a number of languages.
This brings a range of educational and social benefits to the students. Schools have reported increased confidence in students, better parental engagement, and higher educational outcomes from those students who undertake first language GCSEs.
EAL students, particularly those who have good literacy skills in their first language, find that they can attain very good grades at GCSE.
