Confident English wants every young person to have the best possible start in life and a positive education experience is critical. With an increase in EAL (English as an Additional Language) students, most schools struggle to address the language barriers to learning experienced by these students.
Confident English exists to maximise these students’ potential to help them access classroom learning and thrive.
