Integration of a pupil from a language unit into the host school: a case study

Lickey First and Middle School, Hereford and Worcester

University of Birmingham

This case study examines the integration of a pupil from a language unit located in a mainstream school into classes in the host school. Data was gathered through observation, examination of written information, and semi-structured interviews. The study concludes that careful planning, parental involvement, ancillary provision, effective communication, and the availability of support and training for mainstream teachers are essential. It also recognizes that, for some pupils, speech and language difficulties may have long-term effects requiring additional provision after leaving a unit.
