A resource intended for all teachers of students who are learning English as a second or additional language.

ESL Scope and Scalesis an innovative resource that links language development for second language learners to the language demands of the whole school curriculum.

The Scope is the curriculum statement that describes and explains the model of language that underpins and organises the resource, and provides teaching suggestions that focus on language development.

The Scales detail levels of achievement against which ESL/EAL learners can be assessed and reported on. The Scales describe English language development along a continuum described in 14 incremental steps; that is, 14 Scales. There are four versions of the Scope and Scales; each version corresponds to a different age group.
