Introduction to English: EAL A10L

This course provides language development opportunities in the four skill areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), in representing, and in viewing.  Initial emphasis will be on developing oral language skills but all literacy readiness skills are incorporated. 

Furthermore, since basic numeracy skills are needed for everyday communication and academic life, these students will gain awareness of the relationship between language and numbers.  Students will have the chance to explore a range of practical and academic math applications.

Students will have opportunities to develop basic English language skills for communicating about self, family, school and community as well as the literacy, language and skills needed for .eventual participation in ELA and other content areas.  

Finally, this course helps students develop confidence to learn in a formal setting and reduce the gap between the students’ age and the target academic skills for their age group.
