Level 3 English as a second language

This course is for students who have grown up speaking Tongan, Samoan or another language and who are learning English. It improves your English language skills, so it will help you in your other subjects at school, at work, and in your family and community. You can earn EL (English Language) credits at NCEA Level 3. (Some students may do assessments at Level 1 or 2 and Level 1 literacy assessments.) This course will develop your English reading, writing and speaking skills. It will help you to become bilingual (or multilingual). This means you will be able to use two (or more) languages for speaking, reading and writing.
