This unit describes the skills and knowledge required by EAL learners to plan and organise practical workplace observations, collect and record observations, report observations to others, evaluate the experience, and reflect on own learning goals for the Australian workplace. The focus of the workplace observation is on development of language skills in the context of work.

The outcomes described in this unit relate to:
- The Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF). They contribute directly to the achievement of ACSF indicators of competence in Oral Communication, Reading and Writing at Level 2
and
- the ISLPR (International Second Language Proficiency Ratings) descriptors for Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. They contribute directly to the achievement of ISLPR Speaking 2, Listening 2, Reading 2 and Writing 2.
