2. The research investigation
In 2010, a research project funded by a grant from the Jeff Thompson Award was conducted to
identify ways in which language support could be provided when teaching a Unit of Inquiry in the PYP
to children who did not speak English or the language of instruction. The objectives of this research
investigation were as follows:
1. To observe, record and analyse the strategies and techniques PYP teachers use to implement their
unit of inquiry to children learning English as a foreign language or additional language.
2. To create a resource bank of language teaching strategies, ideas and techniques for teachers to use
when implementing units of inquiry.
3. To help raise teacher awareness of language learning through the programme of inquiry.
