Student Referral for EAL Literacy Transition Centre

Senior years EAL students, particularly from war-affected countries, who have had no prior schooling or extremely limited, disrupted schooling often experience the following:

	inability to cope with the academic demands (particularly for students that are illiterate in their first or several languages);
	pressure from family to obtain employment to assist with repayment of airfare medical examinations and other costs associated with immigration; and,
	difficulty adjusting to new culture (post-war trauma, feelings of isolation, etc.).

The E.A.L. Literacy - Transition Centres at the senior years level will provide:

	intensive literacy and numeracy instruction; and
	orientation to school, community and independent living including work experience and career counselling.

Students would also take other courses that provide an opportunity to acquire language skills in a more experiential context (e.g., art, physical education. computer, etc.)
