How to promote EAL students' English capability in high school in Australia

Abstract

With the growth of the economy and globalization, Australia attracts a large number of international students, most of whom do not speak English as their first language. This language limitation has resulted in many international students not being able to integrate well into the Australian living and learning environment. Effectively helping these students overcome the language barrier is one of the difficulties teachers face in the classroom. In order to help teachers, find effective ways to improve the students' English language ability in the classroom. This study focuses on how teachers can improve the English language skills of EAL students by providing effective assistance to EAL students in the classroom. The study puts the main focus on how to improve students' English speaking skills. It investigates and evaluates whether teachers in EAL classes can effectively help students improve their speaking skills by providing them with Corrective Feedback (CF) in speaking. Specifically, this study combines theory with practice by evaluating the CF approach in the context of multicultural education in Australia, and by taking into account specific student characteristics to assess whether the CF approach is suitable for teachers to use directly in the classroom and can effectively help students improve their English capability.
