中文摘要
EAL Copilot是一个软件平台,用于评估双语儿童(称为EAL学习者,因为他们使用英语作为额外语言),允许学校监控他们的进步,并向他们的老师提供量身定做的建议。没有其他产品提供这种级别的集成支持。EAL的副驾驶甚至走得更远,使用机器学习准确地给出有针对性的建议并评估其影响。其结果是:为孩子们提供了改变人生的机会,否则他们就很难跟上功课。仅在英格兰就有超过160万名双语儿童,占所有在校儿童的20%以上。目前的方法根本没有为他们提供足够的服务:-学校不知道如何准确地评估语言,也无法整合他们拥有的数据。目前的解决方案要么费力,要么不准确;针对性不强的干预措施成本高昂,效果不佳。-教师不断报告说,他们很难教双语学习者。准确、易用的建议使他们能够有效和自信地进行教学。-如果学校不能评估他们,老师也不能教他们,那么学习者就没有太多的机会。有效的支持会改变人生。现有的解决方案存在三个缺陷:它们无法区分语言发展和课程学习,它们无法提供强有力的评估或教学建议,它们无法与学校数据系统集成来监控进展。EAL Copilot是第一款同时提供这三种功能的产品。它提供准确的评估、可操作的管理信息和量身定做的教学建议。这意味着它与学校的实际运作方式、学生实际需要的内容和教师实际需要了解的内容无缝契合。
英文摘要
The EAL CoPilot is a software platform that assesses bilingual children (known as "EAL learners" because they use English as an Additional Language), allows schools to monitor their progress and gives tailored recommendations to their teachers. No other product offers this level of integrated support. The EAL CoPilot goes even further, using machine learning to give precisely targeted recommendations and evaluate their impact. The result: life-changing opportunities for children who would otherwise struggle to keep up with their lessons. There are over 1.6 million bilingual children in England alone, more than 20% of all children in schools. They are radically underserved by current approaches: - Schools don't know how to assess language accurately and are unable to integrate the data they do have. Current solutions are either laborious or inaccurate; poorly targeted interventions are expensive and ineffective. - Teachers consistently report that they struggle to teach bilingual learners. Accurate, easy-to-use recommendations allow them to teach effectively and confidently. - Learners don't have much of a chance if schools can't assess them and teachers can't teach them. Effective support is life-changing. Existing solutions suffer from three flaws: - They can't distinguish language development from curriculum learning, - They can't offer robust assessment or teaching recommendations, - They can't integrate with school data systems to monitor progress. The EAL CoPilot is the first product that offers all three. It offers accurate assessment, actionable management information and tailored teaching recommendations. That means it fits seamlessly into how schools actually work, what students actually need and what teachers actually need to know.
