English as an Additional Language/Dialect
Implementation
2008 is the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for EAL/D will be conducted in 2009.
Summary
The English as an Additional Language/Dialect course is designed as an alternative to ‘English’ for students who speak another language or dialect as their first or ‘home’ language. EAL/D focuses on the mechanics of Standard Australian English (SAE) and how to use it appropriately in business, government, further education or the workplace. Practical and relevant tasks delivered through a range of engaging and extremely varied contexts teach students to code switch between languages or dialects successfully.
