English as an Additional Language (E.A.L.)

OVERVIEW

At DMCI, we are dedicated to helping newcomer students thrive both academically and socially. Our courses are designed to support students from diverse linguistic backgrounds, ensuring they have the tools and confidence to achieve their academic goals and find balance to lead the good life.

How We Support Our Students:

- We recognize that every student comes with a unique set of skills and experiences. Our teachers tailor lessons to meet individual needs, helping students progress at their own pace. 

- Through engaging reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities across curricular outcomes, students build their English proficiency in real-world contexts, ensuring that they can fully participate in classroom discussions and assignments, in addition to extending their learning beyond the classroom.

- Our courses are designed to support students in all subjects. We provide language, literacy and numeracy instruction in core subjects like Math, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education as well as several option classes like Foods and Nutrition, Textile Arts and Design, and Information and Technology so that students can excel in all areas of the curriculum.

- Our teachers are committed to continually updating lessons according to best practice through professional development opportunities and a sense of responsibility to integrate current research in the fields of language acquisition.

- We understand the challenges of adjusting to a new country and culture. Our team of teachers and educational assistance fosters welcoming classroom environments where students build a community of acceptance, mutual respect, and shared experiences.

- We work with each student to ensure that they are prepared for their individual path beyond graduation.
