La Consejería de Educación en Australia en colaboración con el Departamento de Educación de Nueva Gales del Sur tiene el gusto de invitar a todos los profesores de español, a expertos en esta lengua y a los conocedores y amantes de la cultura de los países en los que se habla español, a  compartir sus conocimientos, ideas y experiencias educativas en la próxima Conferencia para Profesores de Español de Nueva Gales del Sur, que tendrá lugar el próximo martes 2 de noviembre 2021, en Sydney.
 
Nos gustaría dar a conocer experiencias innovadoras en el terreno de la enseñanza de las lenguas, mostrar recursos alternativos para la enseñanza del español, compartir estrategias de motivación eficaces, demostrar estrategias de pedagogía sobre el currículo y un largo etcétera de temas que, principalmente, den respuesta a vuestras necesidades, y que a la vez sean inspiradoras para vuestro trabajo diario en el aula. El Departamento de Educación nos brinda la oportunidad de compartir una jornada de formación que no podemos desaprovechar.
 
Hemos incluido en la conferencia una sección de  “Teach Meets” para todos aquellos que quieran compartir, de una manera más informal y breve (10-15 minutos) una experiencia con los alumnos, una estrategia  de trabajo, una herramienta útil. Se trata de sacar el máximo partido a este encuentro con la colaboración de todos vosotros.
 
Si deseáis intervenir como ponentes o en la sección de “Teach Meets” podéis hacernos llegar vuestra propuesta enviando el formulario correspondiente (por favor utilizad el formulario) a esta dirección de correo:  asesoriacanberra.au@educacion.gob.es antes del 15 de agosto 2021.

Extending EOI deadline for language-specific reference groups (Spanish)

2/5/2017

0 Comments

 
The Languages and Culture team (Secondary Education) no longer has language-specific consultants. Instead, we have four Language Officer positions to provide generic support to teachers of all languages 7-12, ensuring greater equity.
​
Last term, we advertised for teachers to express interest in joining our language-specific reference groups. Unfortunately we have had quite a low response rate for Spanish and so we are extending the closing date to Friday 12 May 2017.

Each reference group will provide a range of support, for example:
- developing language-specific support materials 7-12, including sample assessments
- providing feedback on new NSW language-specific syllabuses developed under the Languages K–10 Framework
- developing language-specific support materials for the new course prescriptions (2019-2023) for the Extension course.

Each language-specific reference group will run from Term 2 2017 to the end of Term 3 2018.

Membership is limited to NSW public school teachers 7-12. We are seeking 3-5 members per group. Membership may support working towards ‘Highly Accomplished’ (standards 1.3.3, 2.1.3 and 2.3.3).

The time-commitment will vary according to the language and the time of year, but will not exceed six days per teacher. Participation dates will be negotiable. Relief will be paid to schools.

If you’d like to express interest in being part of a group, and working with the Languages and Culture team, please complete the attached Expression of Interest (EOI) form and email to nicholas.wilson28@det.nsw.edu.au 

Closing date: 12 May 2017

Seeking teachers and students to link with a school in Spain

15/3/2017

0 Comments

 
​Yannis Blackburn is an English language teacher in Barcelona, interested in linking classes via social media. 

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and video messaging services could be used to communicate with his students at the English Sun Academy. Teachers would moderate all interactions and could assist with the creation of messages and projects. There are currently 15 interested Spanish students in Barcelona, between grades 8 to 12. Students would initially be grouped according to age and interests. 

NSW public school teachers must follow the NSW Department of Education’s Social Media Implementation Policy. Participating students must be aged 13 or over and have parental permission to participate. Students from Barcelona will have also obtained parental permission.

Interested teachers should contact Yannis directly at yannisblackburn@gmail.com
