Beschreibung
Although an increasing number of English language program providers are accredited to offer courses for international students that are preparing for further education in Australia, there are few holistic curriculum resources available on English language intensive courses for overseas students (ELICOS) for schools. This book is a resource informed by research on English language programming with a digest of curriculum and guidelines for English for high school preparation and continuing education courses. It incorporates topics on promoting excellence in English language programs through course design, implementing effective teaching and learning strategies, fostering student welfare and support services, creating professional development opportunities, and using sound financial management and administration planning. This resource should help professionals in international student education, or anyone who may be considering establishing an English language program to develop quality courses for secondary school contexts.
