Description
The 22636VIC Course in Initial EAL supports pre-literate students to develop an identity as a learner and establish learning routines. It supports the development of basic decoding and encoding skills and handwriting skills such as copying and hand-eye coordination.
The 22636VIC Course in Initial EAL is designed for pre-literate students many of whom arrive in Australia with severely interrupted education and little or no previous education or learning experiences.

These learners need to develop an identity as a learner and establish learning routines. The course is intended to provide participants with the following educational outcomes:
- basic decoding and encoding skills,
- handwriting skills such as copying and hand-eye coordination,
- recognition of common high frequency function words and nouns to convey familiar personal information,
- conventions of an Australian classroom such as punctuality and attendance.
