“ESOL teachers multi- modal approach for learners multi-dimensional needs.”
Watch the plenary. I’ve learned so much from Lesley while running the English Outreach program teaching refugees & asylum seekers in New York. Totally brilliant!

Delighted to be back at the Language and Trauma workshop again to speak about #trauma and #LanguageLearning , and connect with colleagues from around the world.
Big thanks to Judith Purkarthofer
and Brigitta Busch for making this happen.

Teaching #ESOL and addressing the effects of #trauma intertwine deeply.
Happy to share our article with Dr Gabriel Roberts Gabriel John Roberts about experiences of ESOL teachers in #Wales and our model for supporting adult learners who have experienced trauma doi.org/10.16922/wje.2…

Stepping into #CardiffMet always fills my eyes with tears, yet my heart overflows with joy, swept away by waves of cherished memories.
Forever grateful to Natalie Buckland , Dr Paul Fitzpatrick, Gabriel John Roberts
for pulling me out of utter darkness.

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the Lunchtime Showcase on 'Addressing Trauma in the Classroom: Beyond Language' hosted by Migration Yorkshire 🧡 and Learning English in Yorkshire and the Humber and share insights on applying a trauma-informed approach in the low-level ESOL classroom.

Such a coincidence ...

Home 🏠and mental health 💚are deeply connected.

Thinking today about #refugees whose roots are broken.
And often there is nowhere to grow new ones.
