Junior English as a Second Language

This course is for second language learners in Years 7 to 10. It supports the development of the social and academic language English learners require to be proficient at in junior school. Year 10 students select this class as an option, and Years 7 to 9 are withdrawn from mainstream subjects to attend this class. This course focuses on learning the 2000 most frequently used English words which account for 90% of the words students will require for school. The course also addresses the four core skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening.
