0 Comments

 
We've noticed that many subscribers to our French page are missing out on important news for languages teachers.

Important information, for example, about our professional learning, state-wide updates, NESA news and collaboration with teachers, is normally posted on the News page, and not on the language-specific pages.

Please ensure you are subscribed to our News page by adding your email to our RSS feed on the side-bar (highlighted in yellow below).

​This means your will receive a daily email message when Languages NSW News has new content. You can receive similar updates for the French language page by following the same step on this page.

0 Comments

 

The 1999 Prêt-à-porter resource has been revamped to create Clé en main, which is now publicly available for free download from the AIS Languages website.
 
After downloading the Clé en main zip file, teachers will receive question sheets (modifiable) and answer sheets. There are also accompanying mp3 audio files for four of the questions, provided in both beginners and native speaker speeds.


This resource has been made possible through the effort of of Muriel Thoumelou (Monte), Michael Bennett (Newington) and Clémence Morel over the last 18 months.

Extending EOI deadline for language-specific reference groups (French)

2/5/2017

0 Comments

 
The Languages and Culture team (Secondary Education) no longer has language-specific consultants. Instead, we have four Language Officer positions to provide generic support to teachers of all languages 7-12, ensuring greater equity.

Last term, we advertised for teachers to express interest in joining our language-specific reference groups. Unfortunately we have had quite a low response rate for French and so we are extending the closing date to Friday 12 May 2017.

Each reference group will provide a range of support, for example:
- developing language-specific support materials 7-12, including sample assessments
- providing feedback on new NSW language-specific syllabuses developed under the Languages K–10 Framework
- developing language-specific support materials for the new course prescriptions (2019-2023) for the Extension course.

Each language-specific reference group will run from Term 2 2017 to the end of Term 3 2018.

Membership is limited to NSW public school teachers 7-12. We are seeking 3-5 members per group. Membership may support working towards ‘Highly Accomplished’ (standards 1.3.3, 2.1.3 and 2.3.3).

The time-commitment will vary according to the language and the time of year, but will not exceed six days per teacher. Participation dates will be negotiable. Relief will be paid to schools.

If you’d like to express interest in being part of a group, and working with the Languages and Culture team, please complete the attached Expression of Interest (EOI) form and email to nicholas.wilson28@det.nsw.edu.au 

Closing date: 12 May 2017
