introduction/overview of the topic of proposal

Support Provided and Strategies Implemented for Second Language Acquisition to English as an Additional Language (EAL) Learners in primary schools in the UK.

The topic interests me as I used to be an EAL learner in the UK as a child and I went through the experience. I would like you to discuss what the expected contributions of the proposed research could be and state what you think the role the creative practice will be within the project.
