This foundational English language course is designed for adult migrants and EAL learners with limited prior education. It builds essential communication, literacy, and numeracy skills needed to progress to further study or employment opportunities.
There are no formal entry requirements for this course. However, participants will be asked to undertake an English language assessment to determine their skill levels using a suitable framework such as the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF). A learner's suitability will be assessed based on this evaluation. Students should provide general stationery items such as pens, pencils, and rulers.
The course comprises 8 core units covering: Use strategies to develop language learning with support; Begin language learning with support; Communicate basic personal details and needs; Give and respond to short highly familiar information; Read and write short highly familiar messages and forms; Read and write short, highly familiar factual texts; Recognise and use numbers and money from 50 to 100 for highly familiar activities; and Recognise and use time in highly familiar situations. Assessment methods include written and oral questions, student observations, role plays, listening tasks, and writing tasks.
