Part 3: Building Substantive Communication to Support EAL/D Students

Supporting EAL/D students in our classrooms is a three-part course designed to address the contributions and educational needs of diverse EAL/D students in Australian schools, including those who have recently arrived and who may be from refugee backgrounds. Drawing upon principles and practices of EAL/D pedagogy to support mainstream and EAL/D teachers in planning and implementing programs that meet the needs of EAL/D students in mainstream classes, teachers will learn how to identify specific teaching and learning practices that can best support the educational development of their EAL/D students.


Why participate?

This course is the third of three which can be completed separately or in sequence. 

Part 3: Building Substantive Communication to Support EAL/D Students highlights the importance for EAL/D students of talk in learning, and the role of language in mediating learning.
