English as an Additional Language

As English is the language of instruction at AIS Lusaka, developing competence in the English language is crucial to students’ success in all sections of the school. The EAL program is designed to address the needs of students from non-English speaking backgrounds who are in the process of developing interpersonal and academic English language skills. The goal of the program is to equip students with the English language skills necessary to operate independently within the general classroom at a level that reflects their age and ability.
​
EAL students receive support and specialised instruction in English language acquisition from qualified EAL staff on a regular basis. They also receive differentiated support within their grade level and subject area classes from their teachers, including EAL staff. This service model is consistent in both the Primary and Secondary Schools.
