Look Inside ... EALD

St Johns Park is a culturally rich and linguistically diverse community. Our English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) program supports students in developing their Standard Australian English skills and confidence so that they can successfully access the content of the NSW  Curriculum.  

It’s the beginning of another term, giving us a fantastic opportunity to reflect on our students’ progress. Students' confidence and skills have grown in all areas of English. They are building on their range of vocabulary, expanding their sentences, and are given opportunities to use and recycle new vocabulary in new contexts. 

Through clines, visuals, sequencing, labelling, matching, and barrier activities, students are continually growing to comprehend and construct more complex texts while remaining engaged in their learning.
