The ESL program in Queensland state schools provides English language support to students from language backgrounds other than English. The program aims to develop these students' English to enable them to participate fully in mainstream classrooms and to enhance their learning outcomes.
Who are English as a second language (ESL) learners?
ESL learners are students with second language learning needs. They come from a variety of backgrounds, including Indigenous, immigrant and refugee backgrounds. They are often faced with issues of settlement, language or poverty in addition to the challenges they face as learners of Standard Australian English.
Earlier in the year students and parents nominated 9 teachers from our school for NEiTA teaching awards for their commitment to education at Pittsworth. I am pleased to be able to announce that Head of Department, Languages, Ms Kristy Thomson has been identified as one of sixty award recipients, nationally. I think that this is a thoroughly deserved and appropriate recognition for Ms Thomson who sets high expectations and challenges her students to rise to those expectations.
