Our English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme is designed to help students acquire the essential English skills they need to express themselves, communicate socially and understand the curriculum.
We offer two levels of EAL classes, and all non-native English-speaking students will need to take an English Placement Test when joining to understand the type of support they require.
Regular EAL | 4 hours / week | For all students who need help to develop their English language proficiency to access the mainstream lessons |
Intensive EAL | 8 hours / week | For students who know very little English, providing immediate, short-term acquisition of essential English skills to function socially and academically and ensure seamless integration into an English-speaking environment. |
With a focus on building a strong foundation, specific emphasis is placed on developing our students’ vocabulary and proficiency in spoken English. As every student has a different learning curve, lessons are planned based on the needs of each individual student. By keeping class numbers small, we provide a risk-free and comfortable setting for our students to practise the language. With the aim of integrating students back into mainstream classes, we will conduct regular assessments throughout the year to assess their progress and proficiency.
