Stage 6 Literacy – languages

21/7/2021

0 Comments

 
New literacy resource pack for Stage 6!
Picture
​Stage 6 Literacy in context – Writing in languages is now live! This suite of resources is designed to support student writing development in languages based on current research to support student literacy.
These Stage 6 resources have been created to enable teachers to use content they are working with in class to improve the quality of students' written responses in English (to a stimulus text in the target language) and in student responses in the language they are learning. They contain videos and downloadable activities on subject vocabulary, planning for writing and student writing and feedback.
You can use these resources individually, as a faculty, or as part of a whole-school literacy team. By using these resources, you can also register hours for Elective PD.

Stage 6 Arabic Beginners – suspension of course

7/5/2018

0 Comments

 
​NESA advises that the Stage 6 Arabic Beginners course will be suspended following the 2019 HSC examination.

When the candidature of an HSC course falls below 15 for each of three consecutive years the subject is suspended (BOSTES 9/15). This has occurred with the Stage 6 Arabic Beginners course. Should demand and sustainability increase to a level where the subject would again become viable as an HSC course, the course may be reactivated.

Should there be a school in NSW with students wishing to study Arabic Beginners after the suspension date, schools and community members are advised that a school may seek approval to offer Arabic Beginners as a School Developed Board Endorsed Course.

Timeline for the suspension of the Arabic Beginners course
2018
Last year for Year 11 enrolments in Arabic Beginners
2019
Arabic Beginners not offered at Year 11
Last year for Year 12 enrolments and HSC examination for Arabic Beginners
2020
Arabic Beginners not available as an HSC course. Students will not be able to repeat Arabic Beginners at Year 12.
