The AEAS Studying in Australian Schools Preparation Course was developed in Australia by qualified Australian curriculum writers specifically for international students planning to enrol in Australian schools. All teachers are degree qualified with experience in teaching English, and have completed official AEAS training.
Cultural knowledge is taught through the story of ‘Jiang Feng’ an international student from China studying in an Australian school. Students are introduced to Jiang Feng through written and audio texts. The story discusses living in a homestay family, making friends with Australian students and common situations international students encounter in Australia. The story ties together the linguistic and cultural learning aspects of the course while strengthening students’ abilities in the five skill areas below.
