SUPPLY TEACHER
Today, it was my first day in a primary school as a supply teacher. I observed the method, subject, students behaviour to understand the problems foreigners are facing to acquire English as an Additional Language.
Liza, 10 years old, can communicate, understand instruction, but not able to write and read the task she is doing.
Peter, 12 years old, has the same difficulties.
Three kids are very little, 5 years old. They are learning how to spell, phonetic sounds, and recognize words and pictures. Almost zero of English at all.
Monday morning, I am starting to help them to cope better in the school.
When I was leaving one the students, looked at me, said good bye, opened his hand with a candy for me. It was very sweet of him.

ESOL EFL ESL EAL
My experience in Brazil as an English teacher gave me full registration for Language - Modern and Community with GTC in Scotland. It means that I can teach English as an Additional Language (EAL).
What is the difference in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), as a Foreign Language (EFL), as an Additional Language (EAL), and English for Speakers of other Language (ESOL )?
Basically, I need to understand the contest I belong at the moment.
Many Eastern European have launched in this country. Schools have had a huge number of pupils as speakers of other languages where the L1 in Scotland is English.
Which approach should be applied in the schools?
These pupils need English as an Additional Language.
