ESLS

English for Speakers of Other Languages

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr B. Cameron.

ESOL - This course is designed for students for whom English is a second language. Students will study grammar, reading, writing, listening and speaking in English with a focus on a variety of familiar topics and contexts. A variety of assessments are offered at different levels, so that learners can be assessed at the appropriate level for their English. 

The ESOL programme provides English language learning through three classes taught at different levels. ESOL classes focus on the four language learning areas of Speaking, Reading, Writing and Listening. 

Students learn the grammar of the English language and develop their language skills in authentic learning contexts. 

All senior classes provide opportunities to gain credits through assessments at the three NCEA levels. 

Additional ESOL learning is available in the ELRC tutor groups, where students with high ESOL needs can receive extra English language support.
