The National Curriculum: Is there a place for ESL Students?

- What do you know about the National Curriculum for Australian
schools? Is your school talking about it?
- With comment due by May and implementation in 2011, it is
timely to consider the implications for ESL students.
- This session, led by ESL experts and ESL school consultants,
will provide a forum for discussion and comment and explore the
mysteries of the National Curriculum website. Recommendations and
comments from this session could inform the Australian Council of
TESOL Associations’ submission on the draft.
- This session will also be of particular interest for TESOL
students studying or due to study Curriculum Development, as well
as education students who have done or will do the TESL unit as
they may end up working in ESL areas in Australian Schools.
