Curriculum Foundations 课程基础
Read Write Inc Phonics (RWI), Comprehension, and Fresh Start form the backbone of our language foundations programme for UISG EAL students. These programs provide content material and offer a pedagogical approach aligned with AERO language foundations and WIDA standards. EAL teachers complement this by giving additional mathematical language instruction and UOI push-in sessions.
在我校，EAL进修学生的学术之旅是以Read Write Inc Phonics (RWI)，Comprehension（阅读理解），以及Fresh Start（新起点）三大支柱为核心构建的，构成了一个坚实的语言基础课程体系。这些课程紧密贴合AERO语言艺术标准与WIDA框架，确保所提供内容与教学方法既高质量又具国际兼容性。此外，为了进一步强化学习效果，我们的EAL教师精心设计了额外的数学语言辅导及与单元探究(UOI)相结合的辅助课程，旨在全方位增进学生的语言运用能力与学科知识，逻辑性地衔接语言学习与整体学术进展，实现教育内容的流畅整合与深度支持。

Collaborative Approach for Language Growth
促进语言发展的合作方法
Our EAL teachers work closely with homeroom teachers, fostering a collaborative environment to support students’ English language growth. This collaborative effort ensures seamless integration of language development strategies within the broader curriculum.
我们的EAL教师与班主任建立了紧密的合作关系，共同营造了一个高度协同的环境，专注于促进学生的英语语言进步。通过这种深度融合的合作模式，我们确保了英语语言发展策略能无缝融入到整个课程体系中，从而为学生提供一个既全面又协调一致的学习体验。

EAL教育工作者紧密遵循WIDA框架，旨在实现以下四个核心教育目标：

Q&A
Q1. How is my child assessed? 如何对我的孩子进行评估？
Assessment is viewed as an ongoing process. EAL teachers assess students’ language proficiency and monitor students’ classroom performance in collaboration with classroom and specialist teachers. WIDA 2020 Edition proficiency descriptors are used to monitor student progress.
评估被视为一个持续进行的过程，其间EAL教师与学生的任课教师及专业教师紧密合作，共同承担起评估学生语言能力的职责，并细致监测他们在课堂上的表现。为了准确追踪学生的进展，我们采纳了WIDA 2020版的能力描述作为衡量标准。
Q2. When will my child exit the EAL Programme ? 我的孩子什么时候可以退出EAL课程？
EAL support is no longer required when the child demonstrates the language and skills necessary to work independently in the mainstream classroom. EAL teachers will continue to “check in” with students in their homeroom class to monitor their progress and offer support.
当学生的语言能力和相关技能达到能够在主流课堂上独立学习的要求时，他们将不再依赖EAL的支持。然而，为了确保学生持续进步并获得必要的协助，EAL教师会继续保持对这些学生的“跟踪观察”，在课堂环境中监督他们的成长，并在必要时提供适时的支持。
