Summary
The VCAA Chief Assessor for VCE EAL, Jenna Gomes, and Deputy Chief Assessors, Linda Hogan and Michael E Daniel, presented an overview of the 2024 VCE EAL examination. Jenna, Michael and Linda detailed what the assessors are looking for in each section of the exam and provided suggestions for how we can best prepare our students. They outlined the features of strong responses in each section and the task requirements. Participants gained a deeper understanding of the task requirements for Section B: Creating Texts, which is new to the VCE EAL study design, and practical classroom activities teachers can use to develop writing skills and engage with the frameworks of ideas. This was a highly insightful and informative presentation and teachers are encouraged to read the 2024 examination report which is published on the VCAA website at: https://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/assessment/vce-assessment/past-examinations/Pages/English-as-an-Additional-Language.aspx.
