学校老师发来的email说：
To be eligible to do English as an Additional language (EAL) in year 12, students must have lived in Australia for no more than 7 years and English has been the student's major language for a total period on not more than 7 years over the period of their education.
You need to calculate the number of years up until the start of the year (Feb) when xxx does his year 12.
这个7年是从来澳洲的时间一直到year12的开头，也就是2月，而不是一直到year12的结束吗？
请有经验的爸爸妈妈解释一下下。多谢！

If the student clearly meets the conditions, the principal has the authority to grant this provision. Such applications should not be sent to the VCAA but should be retained on the school file.
If the decision is not clear, the principal may apply to the VCAA for a determination using the Application for Enrolment 2014 English as an Additional Language Units 3 and 4 form (on VASS). Only if a determination is sought from the VCAA should the completed application form, together with all supporting documentation, be forwarded to the Student Records and Results Unit before the end of Term 1 in the year of application.
A student may be eligible for EAL status if they meet both of the following conditions:
1.
(a) The student has been a resident in Australia or New Zealand or other predominantly English-speaking country for no more than seven years, that is, their date of arrival was on or after 1 January 2007 for students who are in a Units 3 and 4 program in 2014 (Note: The period of seven years is to be calculated cumulatively over the student’s whole life. The calculation of time spent in Australia is made from the date of last arrival plus any previous periods of time spent in Australia or any predominantly English-speaking country. This calculation of time should not include time spent out of Australia during school vacations.) or (b) the student is an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student whose first language is not English.
2.
English has been the student’s major language of instruction for a total period of not more than seven years over the period of their education. Schools must sight the student’s overseas school reports to confirm that the language of instruction was not English during this period.
这个也没说7年的截止时间是12年级的开头还是结尾。

请问：这个EAL对孩子有好处吗？我只知道学习报告评估标准会比正常的低，而且项目也少。目前我家孩子是2年级（澳洲出生），用的是这个报告，我一直在努力提高孩子英文，并说服老师尽快把这个取消，变为正常的标准呢。
还请懂的朋友帮忙解释下：-）否则我一直后悔不该在学前班时答应老师这个要求呢。

这个说的是VCE考试，平常课程都是在一起。

谢谢回复.
没有小学有这种情况的吗?我的问题是小学也是这个EAL会有什么结果，可能与楼主的情况不一样了，借贴问一下，呵呵

个人感觉，听老师的安排吧，老师觉得孩子适合在哪里就在哪里上。
