At registration, the EAL Student Profile and Language
Survey form should be filled out by you, with the help of
an interpreter, if you do not speak English. It provides
the school with very important background information
regarding your child’s past learning experiences and offers
the school vital information.
Assessment and Grade Placement
In Nova Scotia, children are placed in their age appropriate
grade upon arrival at the school. It should be noted that
international grade placements often do not correspond
with grade equivalency in Nova Scotia.
A newcomer’s English language is assessed to determine,
if and to what extent, a student requires EAL support. The
assessment identifies a student’s strengths and needs in the
areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing and assists
teachers in appropriate programming. The interpretation and
application of the results are done by, or in consultation with,
a trained EAL/ESL teacher, where available. Some schools may
use other forms of informal assessment to become more aware
of your child’s abilities in certain academic areas.
按照上面的解释，你带孩子去学校报名时，会给孩子做语言评估，看孩子是不是需要English as an Additional Language (EAL)。
我再一想是因为Staff里没有华人。
