What it does
Analyse the language demands of a classroom task to identify barriers for EAL and multilingual learners. Use when adapting tasks, planning support, or assessing linguistic accessibility.
Language Demand Analyser
What This Skill Does
Identifies the language demands of a classroom task across four dimensions, vocabulary (Tier 1/2/3), grammar (sentence complexity, tense, voice, modality), discourse (text structure, cohesion, paragraph organisation), and genre (purpose, audience, register), and recommends specific scaffolds for each dimension. The analysis makes visible the language that is ASSUMED by the task but rarely explicitly taught, revealing the hidden linguistic barriers that prevent EAL students from demonstrating their subject knowledge. AI is specifically valuable here because most teachers are experts in their subject content but not in the language features their tasks demand, they know what a good science conclusion looks like but may not be able to articulate the specific grammatical structures, discourse patterns, and vocabulary tiers it requires.
