Year 9 English ESOL

Junior English as a Second Language

Junior ESOL, Years 9 and 10 is a course that helps prepare students for mainstream classes. 

Both Year 9 ESOL and Year 10 ESOL courses are based on the four basic skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. 

Both programmes are aligned to the Junior English programme. There is an emphasis on acquiring the vocabulary and content required for mainstream classes at the various levels. Homework, especially in vocabulary and grammar, deepens students’ learning and a wide variety of reading also helps.  

Year 9 English at Baradene College is compulsory.  All Year 8 students will be entered into the Year 9 English course or the Year 9 English as a Second Language course (at the discretion of the Head of Facility).
