Videos to support literacy and numeracy in languages

25/11/2020

The Languages and Culture team is thrilled to announce the launch of our 2 new videos: Literacy in languages and Numeracy in languages.

These short (approximately 7 minutes each) videos unpack the importance of these critical general capabilities within the context of the Languages KLA. 

Each video includes Stage-appropriate examples for explicitly teaching each skill, in order to support students' literacy and numeracy development.

Thank you to our 'actors' – Brindha Punneyalingam, Will Simpson and Julia Zhu, as well as the incredible students at Baulkham Hills High School and Kirrawee High School.

To view the videos, click on 'Learning across the curriculum' at the top of our Stages 4 and 5 landing page, and then scroll to the relevant heading. 

We hope you enjoy watching them as much as we enjoyed making them.

It's important the numeracy activities are both age- and Stage-appropriate. For example, students in Stage 4 could explore activities in which they:
  • - read a menu in the target language and calculate total costs, discounts and percentages, such as tipping
  • - extract, interprets and comprehend a range of mathematical information in the target language from texts, tables, diagrams and graphs in a range of contexts, such as weather charts and transport timetables
  • - create budgets and cost items in a foreign currency, such as shopping for souvenirs
  • - applies knowledge of scale, distances and time zones to plan and budget an overseas travel itinerary.

​You can find sample numeracy activities for Stage 4 Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish (NEW!) on the
Stages 4 and 5 section of our site. Scroll down the page to the 'Numeracy' heading.
