Reminder: Kompetisi Siswa 2016

29/6/2016

0 Comments

 
Each year the Department of Education coordinates the Kompetisi Siswa, a writing competition for students of Indonesian from Kindergarten to Year 10. Many teachers find this a great opportunity to raise the profile of Indonesian within their school community and for their students to experience competing with students in other schools at a state level.

Each Stage (Years 1-2, Years 3-4) etc is given a different topic and format for their writing task. Teachers are asked to coordinate their students’ work by selecting six entries per year group to be entered in the competition.

The closing date for entries is Friday 23 September 2016.

Prizes for first place, second place and highly commended are generously donated by the Australia-Indonesia Association of NSW. All students will receive a certificate of participation from the MLTA of NSW. Each participating school will receive a certificate of appreciation from the Indonesian Consulate. See below for competition guidelines and topics.

Here are some online resources for the Olympics that Language teachers may find useful if preparing units of work themed around the upcoming games in Rio. 

AOC Australian Olympic Education – Resources that align with different learning areas, general capabilities and across different categories. Whilst not-Languages focused, these current AOC resources reflect the upcoming Rio games and can be adapted to suit the target language being taught.
http://education.olympics.com.au/resources
 
MLTAV & AOC Olympic Resources for Language Teachers – These resources were co-developed to look at aspects of the Olympics a few years back through the application of target language. They are cover themes of Olympic activities, symbols, countries, sports, training and schedules. Language teachers can integrate these into units of work they may be undertaking during the Olympics and flexibly deliver them based on their students’ language learning needs. These are available for Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
