Overview
In Teaching English Language Learners, students recognise English Language Learners as a diverse group that includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and understand the need for comprehensive profiling of individual learners’ cultural and linguistic backgrounds and language proficiency in receptive and expressive modes. They develop skills in collecting evidence to determine learners’ progress in the use of Standard Australian English (SAE) for academic purposes and demonstrate interactional “talk” that explicitly teaches the language structures of texts and scaffolds an English Language Learner’s ability to meet the linguistic demands of classroom tasks. Students learn a range of practical communicative strategies for supporting the oracy and literacy practices of English Language Learners and apply these strategies to differentiate curriculum planning and cater for the specific needs of English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) learners in mainstream settings in the middle and upper primary years.
