English EAL/D
Support to help you plan, program and assess the English EAL/D course.
English EAL/D addresses the needs of a specific group of students and shares the overall aim and rationale of English. When presented at the HSC, the English EAL/D course will satisfy NESA requirements for the study of English. The English EAL/D course sits beside English (Standard) and the English (Advanced) courses, and shares the overall aim and rationale of English.
Students who have been using English as their primary language of instruction for five years or less at the start of the Preliminary course may be eligible to study the English EAL/D course.
English EAL/D is designed for students from diverse non-English speaking, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds as designated by the course entry requirements. The students engage in a variety of language learning experiences to develop and consolidate their use, understanding and appreciation of Standard Australian English, to enhance their personal, social, educational and vocational lives. The students learn to respond to and compose a wide variety of texts in a range of situations in order to be effective, creative and confident communicators.
