The Grade 8 EAL intermediate/advanced course is addressed to students whose first language is not English by developing linguistic competence in Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing skills. Students are exposed to a range of opportunities where their linguistic repertoire may be enhanced in a safe and constructive environment. Skill-building opportunities are also supported through the awareness and acquisition of vocabulary and grammatical rules.

Through learning, EAL students build their capacity to communicate confidently and effectively while strengthening their understanding of the nature of English language and culture, as well as the need to tailor message according to purpose, form and audience.
