About the course

The SSTUWA, in partnership with TLN in Melbourne, are pleased to offer this online learning opportunity.

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.

Delivery method: Live online event

The event will be 90 minutes in duration and consist of live delivery of content at the specified time by a presenter and a host. You will also have an opportunity to interact with other participants and engage with the presenter online. Completing this course will contribute to 90 minutes of professional learning and a certificate will be provided at the end of the session.
