Supporting English as an Additional Language (EAL) learnings in your classrooms

Facilitator: Annemarieke Hoekstra PhD, Educational Developer, NAIT

This session is for instructors from all disciplines and fields who are interested in enhancing their strategies to teach, support, and/or communicate with learners whose home language is not English. These learners are also called English as Additional Language (EAL) learners. EAL learners are learning how to be a student, learning your course content, and are still learning English all at the same time. EAL learners may have difficulties with speaking speed, accent, cultural references, jargon, complex words, reading comprehension and more. Session participants will leave the session ready to implement strategies to support EAL learners.
