At the end of 2022, NESA published the new Modern Languages K-10 Syllabus, to be used to teach from 2024. Some of you may feel a little overwhelmed at a new syllabus, especially when the current language-specific K-10 syllabuses in NSW are still relatively new.
We've had a look at the new syllabus and wanted to let you know that we genuinely love it! So much so, we created an infographic which summarises all the the things we love about it.
You may want to print it off and put it on your staffroom wall, so you can start sharing a little of that excitement too. You could even use it as a stimulus to share what you're excited about, at a faculty or network meeting.
Both NESA and the DoE are publishing support for the syllabus, so watch this space!
the new syllabus is a simpler, more supportive document
our teams will provide comprehensive support throughout 2023, to support you with your planning, ready to start implementation in 2024.
The primary and secondary languages teams at the department have had a look through the syllabus and our initial reaction is ... genuine excitement! There is a lot to like about this new syllabus, and we thought we’d share with you some of the aspects we feel most excited about.
Please read the infographic attached, and maybe even print it off for your staffroom wall, so that when you come back after the January holidays, you can start sharing a little of that excitement too.
