ESL - English Second Language
The Lioncrest ESL Program supports the provision of:
- Introductory English Centres (IECs)
The Introductory English Centres are for students who are newly arrived in the ACT with a language and cultural background other than English and who have limited English language. There are three primary and one secondary Introductory English Centres in the ACT. Their function is to provide intensive English instruction for students to gain sufficient proficiency in English to graduate from the Introductory English Centre to their school of choice.
- Mainstream School Programs for ESL students, including support within classrooms and direct instruction in ESL.
The ESL program provides ESL support on a needs basis following annual assessment and monitoring of the English language performance levels of all ESL students. This support is provided across all levels from preschool to college in government schools.
- Preschool Support
Itinerant preschool ESL teachers work with identified ESL students and their preschool teachers to improve language and learning outcomes for these students in the year before formal schooling begins.
