Sample numeracy tasks for languages

31/8/2017

0 Comments

 
Sample tasks for French, German and Japanese have been developed by teachers who have completed the LANG Languages and Numeracy online professional learning modules. These resources are available on the Stages 4 and 5 page of the curriculum website, under Learning across the curriculum.
 
The activities explicitly focus on numeracy skills and the ideas can be integrated into any language. Be sure to look at each of the samples, regardless of language, to gain ideas for embedding Stage-appropriate numeracy skills into your teaching and learning programs.

28/8/2017

0 Comments

 
The Modern Language Teachers' Association NSW (MLTANSW) is coordinating a TeachMeet on Friday 15 September from 4.30pm at the Independent Education Union (IEU) Sydney Offices, 485-501 Wattle Street, Ultimo.

​This is a FREE informal gathering of teachers exchanging ideas and learning from each other. The idea is to share good practice, practical innovations and/or personal insights in teaching, and/or to discuss a tool that enhances classroom practice. Each presentation will be followed by discussion time so everyone becomes an active participant in the event. It is expected that it will be NESA-registered for standards 2.1.2, 6.3.2 and 7.4.2. 
​
A video conference link may be provided for those who are not able to attend in person.
  
Please complete the registration form so that organisers are aware of numbers for space, light catering and video conferencing requests.

It would be wonderful to have many languages teachers participate on 15 September.

​The Languages and Culture team (Secondary Education – Learning and Teaching Directorate) would like to strengthen our ties with existing language teacher networks, and support teachers in establishing new networks.

We are aware of the following network groups: Dubbo, Bellingen/Coffs Harbour, Illawarra, Riverina, Western Sydney, South Western Sydney, Nirimba. (Thank you to network leaders for already providing an update to us about your work.)

However, there may be other network groups, formal or informal, of which we are not aware.

If you organise a languages network not listed above, please email darlene.knowles@det.nsw.edu.au
  • Please include the following information:
  • - Is your network language-specific or language-generic?
  • - How often do you meet?
  • - Which schools participate in your network?
  • - Does you network receive any financial support from participating schools? For example, teacher relief to organise and/or attend?
  • - What is the nature of the meetings? For example, formal PL, informal discussions, tapping into state office Adobe Connects, resource sharing, other?
  • - How do you promote the network?
