Year 12 German Continuers speaking day - Saturday 29 July 2017

3/5/2017

0 Comments

 
Year 12 students will have the opportunity to participate in two 10-minute mock interviews with two different and unfamiliar examiners in preparation for their HSC speaking examination. Students must be accompanied by their teacher. The day will be held at the King's School (Parramatta).
 
Teachers need to be willing to conduct 10-minute interviews between 9am and 12pm, while students are required to undertake two 10-minute interviews within a 40-minute time slot, thereby giving them a short break between the two interviews.
 
Students will be exposed to different interview styles and techniques as they prepare for their HSC. Students will be asked to record the interviews on phones or computers and these can then be reviewed by their own teachers to maximize student learning.
 
In order to get an idea of how many teachers and students are potentially interested in this event, please email Astrid Sampson approximate numbers by Friday, 9th June 2017.
 
Please provide the following information before Monday, 17th July 2017:
- school name
- teacher name
- student names.

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

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 German 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
