As a truly international school, WAB sees the diversity of languages among its community as an asset -- not a challenge.

English as an Additional Language is not just an individual course to support non-native English speakers. It should be seen as a life-long journey, which, at WAB, is coordinated and supported across all school sections from Early Years through to Grade 12 graduation.

The way international schools like WAB are approaching EAL is innovative and based on the latest and best research related to learning. On this week's episode of The WAB Podcast, we are joined by the EAL specialists in WAB's Elementary, Middle, and High Schools.

The team discusses why language diversity in a school community is an asset, how they work to train teachers school-wide, the most impactful strategies for approaching EAL, and the difference between learning language for academics and learning language for life.
