In this episode of Teach we explore effective strategies for supporting Aboriginal EALD (English as an Additional Language or Dialect) learners in South Australia. Our guests highlight approaches such as explicit teaching, translanguaging, and leveraging students' first languages and cultural backgrounds through co-teaching and culturally responsive practices.

The episode also outlines the resources available through the EALD hub, including online modules, coaching and professional learning communities. Educators are encouraged to keep learning, collaborate and use these supports to enhance teaching and learning outcomes for Aboriginal EALD students across the state.
