The Australian Curriculum focuses on learner diversity, so we’ve provided tailored language and vocabulary support for learners of English as an Additional Language or Dialect. The Pearson Science 8 EAL/D activity book can be used as an alternative or in conjunction with the standard activity books. EAL/D students will benefit from the definitions of key terms using text and pictorial explanations, language builders for each chapter as well as scaffolds and hints to build confidence and sense of completion of tasks.
