​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.

The Languages and Culture team, in collaboration with Shirley Cai from Killarney Heights High School, is offering a Stage 6 school-based assessment in [Language] and Literature workshop. This is TIPL for 2 hours.
 
This course builds teachers’ capacity to understand and apply mandatory Stage 6 school-based assessment in [Language] and Literature courses. It unpacks NESA’s current school-based assessment requirements including examples of best practices. Provision of sample tasks based on syllabus outcomes, combined with collaborative discussions, support teachers in developing their own non-HSC style assessment tasks.

​This course will enable participants to:
- understand the requirements of school-based assessment in Stage 6 [Language] and Literature courses
- implement a range of assessment strategies in Stage 6 [Language] and Literature courses
- design an effective assessment task for Stage 6 [Language] and Literature courses.  

The workshop will be held at Ashfield Boys High School on 5 March from 1:00-3:00pm. Afternoon tea will be provided. To enrol, browse for course code NR27707.
