Description:
Students with English as an Additional Language (EAL) may experience challenges in their learning. Teachers who are equipped with resources and strategies to support EAL students can assist these students to overcome barriers to their learning. The evidence shows that teaching practices that support EAL students also enhance the learning of mainstream students. This session will model successful teaching practices that have worked with students in the middle years (upper primary and lower secondary). The session will also be helpful for Education Support Staff who may be working one to one or with small groups.
Standards addressed:
- 1.3.2 Learners with diverse linguistic cultural religious and socioeconomic backgrounds
