About this Unit
The unit is only offered to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education program. One in four children in Australia grows up in bilingual or multilingual households. Many of these children need support to develop their English. This unit aims to contribute to the overall course aims by preparing teacher education students to evaluate and critique strategies for the teaching of English as an Additional Language (EAL) or Dialect. Whilst the emphasis will be on developing an understanding of appropriate classroom strategies for learners of English as a second language within a mainstream cross-curricula program, particular emphasis will be given to the learning needs of and appropriate pedagogies for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students learning English as an Additional Language/ Dialect.
