English Language Arts: English as an Additional Language for Academic Success

This Grade 12 40S English Language Arts course is designed for advanced-level English as an additional language (EAL) students who wish to further develop the academic English language skills required for success in Senior Years and post-secondary education. The course is a Grade 12 English Language Arts (not EAL) elective. Advanced EAL students (approaching or at Stage 5) will benefit from integrated ELA/EAL courses which reinforce and build proficiency in a range of language knowledge and skills required across the Senior Years curriculum and areas of post-secondary study. Through its five thematic modules that draw on current topics and scaffolded learning experiences, the course develops academic language skills and learning strategies needed for success across a number of subject areas, with emphasis on the sciences, mathematics, and social sciences.

Note: The English Language Arts: English as an Additional Language for Academic Success – A Course for Senior 4 EAL Learners (40S) can not be used as the English Language Arts 40S course required for graduation purposes. It is an optional credit course.
