The collaborative project partners are Aspire Community Trust, a network of schools in Southampton, and they will provide the participant schools for this project \u00a0focused on \u2018Raising EAL Learners\u2019 Attainment\u2019 (REAL). EAL pupils are those with English as an additional language. On returning to campus, Aniqa reflects:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe IoE has always been special to me because it is where I completed my undergraduate teacher training degree. It was during my final year Advanced Teaching Project on improving EAL learners\u2019 writing, with Dr. Flynn as my supervisor, that I \u00a0began to appreciate the power of uniting research with classroom practice. This stayed with me as I went on to teach at a Reading primary school, and later inspired me to return to academia and pursue a Master\u2019s degree in education at the University of Oxford. I am so grateful for the opportunity to return to the IoE as a PhD researcher &#8211; and thoroughly look forward to building upon the knowledge, understanding and experiences I\u2019ve gained since my trainee teacher days!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2796 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2020\/10\/aniqa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"526\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The REAL project explores the effectiveness of training teachers to use the Enduring Principles of Learning; an evidence-informed pedagogy which has had success in the US. As a SeNSS Collaborative PhD student Aniqa\u2019s project will be aligned with Dr. Flynn\u2019s research using the Enduring Principles of Learning with schools where EAL pupil numbers are high. Aniqa will undertake a mixed methods study examining pupil outcomes, to complement Dr. Flynn\u2019s qualitative work examining teachers\u2019 practice. Commenting on Aniqa\u2019 success at winning this highly prestigious funded PhD position, she said: \u201cI can\u2019t believe our luck in having Aniqa back from the classroom to study her PhD with us. She has a unique profile of excellence in practice and research insights for EAL learners. She is also multilingual and has all the people-person qualities needed for the messiness of classroom research&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Aniqa hopes that this collaborative project between researchers and teachers will have direct, lasting impact on EAL pedagogy. Aniqa added that:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI feel privileged to be working in partnership with schools and leading academics from the outset of this project. In undertaking the PhD, I \u00a0hope to contribute to the limited evidence base available on supporting EAL learners in UK classrooms, in addition to ensuring my research is of real, tangible use to school leaders, teachers and other professionals working closely with EAL pupils on a daily basis. I am thankful to the ESRC and SeNSS for offering a collaborative studentship which encourages wider research impact from day one of the PhD\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Aniqa completed her BA in Primary Education degree at the University of Reading, specialising in English. She went on to teach upper Key Stage 2 pupils at one of the largest, linguistically diverse primary schools in the area, before moving on to complete a Master\u2019s in Education at the University of Oxford. Aniqa\u2019s PhD started in October 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acknowledgment: Thanks, Dr. Naomi Flynn, for her contribution on this news item. &nbsp;
