Introduction
The entire globe is becoming more interconnected each and every day. While enabling
the possibility towards the communication, one of the major factor that remains as the obstacle is
the language. According to Kim, Lambert and Burts (2013), English is considered to be one of
the most essential and important language for learning due to several of the reasons including
advancing in the career. The current structure of the educational system incorporates the module
for the students who are non-English speaker thereby enabling an opportunity for them. It is to
note that the English language classes for ESL learners plays a very important and essential role
towards altering immigrants. The classes for the children with English as second and an
additional language are the proactive measures for ensuring that the students of ESL duly
understand their responsibilities as well as rights.
The problem statement of this report revolves around the challenges and the difficulties
faced by the ESL leaners within the classroom. The students belonging to the kindergarten and
the pre school setting who belongs to the section with English as additional and secondary
language faces majority of the challenges due to the lack of coping up with the language and the
studies (Palmer 2018). The activities for pre school and kindergarten learners has thus became an
essential aspect regarding the language teaching.
Essential towards the pre school program and the curriculum for the English as secondary
and additional language, is the effective institution regarding the development of language. It is
important to understand that children requires explicit instructions within English vocabulary
together with the opportunities for speaking and hearing the language through out the day and

use it within the curriculum. However, the way of education and teaching the learners with
English additional and secondary language is also essential since these methods of teaching helps
in the proper involvement of the learners to the curriculum module and also help them to get a
grasp of the language they are studying in additional (Clarke 2009). The role of the teacher thus
plays a very essential role for the development of language for the preschool ESL learners. The
rationale for this research project is to identify what are the strategies that takes place at the pre
school setting of Victoria for supporting the language as well as the development of the literacy
as English as an additional language.
Research aim and questions
The aim of the research study is to develop a detailed proposal for the action project of
the research. This study furthermore targets to design objectives as well as goals towards the

Literature Review
Around the world, children engaging themselves towards early childhood education
program add an increasing rate before entering their primary schooling. The language is the heart
of learning and teaching. It is the medium via which skills and concepts are assessed together
with identification and increasing association with complex disciplinary as well as
understandings over the time (Banerjee, Alsalman and Alqafari 2016). The ways in which
teachers use language for conveying as well as testing disciplinary knowledges henceforth
determine the learning of students. Towards the process of learning for students having English
as their additional or second language, the patterns and the norms of teaching across the
academic discipline makes explicit contribution towards the development of concepts and
expansion of the academic horizon of the students (Peña, Gillam and Bedore 2014). This section
of the research report will discuss relevant literature of quality that links with the research topic
of education for ESL preschoolers.
Theoretical framework
Early years learning framework (EYLF) illustrates the practices, principles and outcomes
which supports as well as enhance the learning of young children from birth to five years
together with their phase of transition to school. This learning framework is the major key
component of the national quality framework for care and education of early childhood.
According to Ortlipp, Arthur and Woodrow (2011), this framework was developed by the
