Alice Bevan, Bridie Raban

English as an Additional Language in Practice offers educators guidance on aiding the communication and language growth of EAL children, aligned with the updated 2018 National Quality Framework (ACECQA, 2017). Alongside indispensable insights into EAL learners, it addresses crucial subjects such as: language acquisition processes; preparing for new students with minimal or no English proficiency; facilitating smooth transitions and fostering an appropriate learning environment; collaborating with families; and conducting thorough observation and assessment. Dedicated chapters also concentrate on bolstering the prime area of communication and language development.
