Abstract | Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) will affect approximately five to ten percent of the population over the course of a lifetime. With 65 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, it is inevitable that English as a Second Language (ESL) programs in Australian universities will see an increase in traumatised students. PTSD has been proven to change the brain, affecting learning, cognition, mood, and the ability to focus. However, to ignore or exclude traumatised learners is neither practical nor ethical, leaving both learners and educators unsupported. While schools in Australia and abroad are instituting trauma-informed pedagogy to transform the learning of younger students, the teaching of traumatised adults has yet to become mainstream practice, particularly within ESL programs. |
