Episode 4: Language Teaching in a Super Diverse Society
In this episode, we talk with Maryam Aslam, an English as an Additional Language (EAL) teacher in Dubai. As an EAL and Inclusion Specialist, she focuses on linguistic acquisition and coordinates fast track EAL strategies for diverse learners. She supports students with dyslexia and additional learning needs, ensuring an inclusive environment that promotes engagement. Maryam has expertise in multi-sensory teaching which allows her to create differentiated lessons tailored to individual strengths.
In this discussion, Maryam shares key strategies for teaching in super diverse classrooms and for collaborating as educational teams, reminding us that, in some way, all teachers are language teachers.
