本文讨论了北爱尔兰初级教师教育 (ITE) 级别的英语作为附加语言 (EAL) 教学培训。这项小规模定性研究描述了 15 名小学和小学教师对于他们在北爱尔兰教授 EAL 的准备工作的看法。它探讨了对 ITE 课程中的 EAL 内容的反思、在教授母语非英语的学生时面临的困难类型以及 ITE 可能包含为此类学生提供有效服务所需的技能和知识的方式。研究结果表明，目前 EAL 培训的规定各不相同，除了 EAL 相关理论的全面基础之外，参与者还需要并想要基本的以及更先进的实用 EAL 应对策略。
This paper addresses training for teaching English as an Additional Language (EAL) at initial teacher education (ITE) level in Northern Ireland. This small‐scale qualitative study describes 15 primary and post‐primary teachers' perspectives on their preparation for teaching EAL in Northern Ireland. It explores reflections on EAL content in ITE programmes, the type of difficulties faced when teaching pupils whose first language is not English and the ways in which ITE might include the skills and knowledge needed to make effective provision for such pupils. The findings show that the current provision for EAL training varies and participants both need and want basic as well as more advanced practical EAL coping strategies, in addition to a thorough grounding in EAL‐related theory.
