EAL/D (English as an Additional Language or Dialect) teaching resources support Australian primary teachers working with students who are learning English alongside their home language or dialect, including students from migrant and refugee backgrounds and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who speak Aboriginal English or a traditional language at home. Quality EAL/D resources provide scaffolded, accessible pathways into the Australian Curriculum for students at all stages of English language development.
