EDSE3117: Teaching EALD 1
2025 unit information
One in five Australians come from a language background other than English. Many of these children and adults need support in developing their English. In addition, new immigrants and refugees arrive in Australia every year, many of whom also need help in acquiring English. English as an additional language (EALD) teachers provide this help. The type of support depends on the learners' needs. For example, young children entering school with fluency in their first language, but not English will need intensive classroom support in social and school English; whereas adult immigrants may need more focus on English for vocational purposes or further study.
