In the modern world, language is the most important tool to succeed
socially, academically and professionally. Since the foundation of
any learning is established in the Foundation and Intermediate
Phases, it is critical that ESL learners who struggle with English
as the LOLT should be supported as early as possible, in order to
ensure that they achieve their optimal learning potential. How to
support English Second Language learners provides a background to
the language-in-education scenario in South African as well as
related theoretical issues on learning in a second language. It
pays special attention to practical support strategies for ESL
learners in the Foundation and Intermediate Phase who experience
barriers to learning with regard to reading, writing, listening and
speaking. Contents include the following: How language, and
specifically how a second language, is acquired; Factors
influencing the learning of a second language in the school-aged
child; Creating a relevant context for language learning; Support
strategies to improve English language proficiency; Literacy
assessments as part of a comprehensive school assessment system.
How to support English Second Language learners is aimed at both
student teachers and teachers already practising in South African
schools today.
