Overview

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required by EAL learners to recognise and use limited, extremely familiar learning strategies to participate in learning.
The outcomes described in this unit relate to:

the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF). They partly contribute to the achievement of ACSF indicators for Learning at Pre-level 1, and
the ISLPR (International Second Language Proficiency Ratings) is not applicable for this unit.

This unit applies to learners who need to develop learning skills on how to undertake simple reading and writing skills to satisfy immediate personal and social needs in familiar and mostly predictable community, educational, or workplace contexts.
