EAL

The EAL program has continued this year with students at Years 10, 11 and 12 studying a range of texts, and developing their skills in writing, listening, oral presentation, and language analysis. They have been introduced to Australian writing as well as works from around the world.

They have studied current issues and have been encouraged to develop and present their own viewpoints. Year 12 students have had access to an additional EAL Support Program to assist them enhance their skills in preparation for SACs and exams. They were also able to benefit from an incursion with the viewing of The Women of Troy video performance by the Eagle’s Nest Theatre Company. Students from Years 9 and 10 have had an intensive program of English offered within the Language Centre and this has included developing their understanding of Australian society as well as developing their writing, speaking and listening. The English as an Additional Language Program is an important element of our English studies offerings at Auburn High School as it allows students who have not studied with English as their main language the opportunity to succeed.
