  1. CECV Language Leaders: Developing Intercultural Language Learning through Online Professional Networking Project Manager: Kylie Farmer Email: PL@mltav.asn.au

  2. Network Project 2013 • Trial an Intercultural Language Learning (IcLL) Unit and document the resources, learnings etc., using the CECV Model of Contemporary Learning • Establish an online networking space which is used by teachers in your network to share resources/ideas/your learnings relating to the IcLL Unit, as well as other useful teaching resources/ links etc.

  4. What is Intercultural Language Learning? • http://youtu.be/-cUNUmFXGJE

  5. Getting Started with Intercultural Language Learning • A resource for schools • Based on teachers’ ideas and experiences from theAsian Languages Professional Learning Project (ALPLP) • Includes: • discussion of elements of IcLL theory • samples of IcLL activities http://www.asiaeducation.edu.au/teachers/professional_learning/languages/getting_started/the_asian_languages_professional_learning_project.html

  6. Intercultural Language Learning Intercultural language learning (IcLL) provides knowledge, skills and values for our students that will enable them to use language in culturally aware and sensitive ways. They will understand that their cultures and languages are not static, and that the languages and cultures of others are not static either. They will be able to use these skills, values and knowledge to extend their capacities as second language users for useful, productive and meaningful engagement with other people and other cultures.

  7. Australian Curriculum: Languages • Look at the following sections of the Australian Curriculum: Italian document for the year levels that you teach: • Communicating strand: Reflecting on Intercultural Language Use • Understanding strand • Brainstorm some ways which you might address these in your classroom

  8. Activity 1 • Work with a partner • You will be allocated two sections from pages 12-29 of the document ‘Getting Started’ • Read through each section, discuss and answer the following questions • Be ready to report back to the whole group on your discussion

  9. Activity 1 - Questions Read through the sections you have been allocated, discuss and answer the following questions, then be ready to report back to the whole group: • What does the theory look like in practice in your classroom(s)? • Do any of the IcLL activities given as examples appeal as something you could trial with your Network? Why?

  11. Model of Contemporary Learning

  12. PLANNING • Which aspect/s of the Australian Curriculum Intercultural Understanding General Capability am I wanting to address in my Languages program? • Which ALPLP ideas/units would be useful - in my context? - to address the Intercultural Understanding focus identified above? • How am I planning to implement my unit? • To implement this project, what resources do I need: - to purchase? to adapt? to find!

  13. ENACTING • What am I noticing while I am implementing my unit? (* Put comments up on the blog/wiki to share with colleagues!!) • How am I responding to the way students are engaging in this unit? • What evidence can I be collecting to demonstrate: - what is happening in the classroom? - students' learning? • What changes am I making to my initial plan? Why? (*Share useful hints/ideas on the blog/wiki!)

  14. OBSERVING • What does the evidence I collected say about students' learning in relation to the Australian Curriculum Intercultural Understanding General Capability? • How am I going to report on this learning? - to students (via reports and/or informally) - to the school community (via school newsletters/ displays/ leadership / curriculum meetings) - to network colleagues (via the blog/wiki) • What did network colleagues find when they did a similar unit with their students? Why?

  15. REFLECTING • What can I put on the blog/wiki to share with others about what I have learnt through teaching this unit? • What would I do differently next time I teach this unit?

  16. ACARA – Revised General Capabilities in the Australian Curriculum: Intercultural Understanding • In the Australian Curriculum, students develop intercultural understanding as they learn to value their own cultures, languages and beliefs, and those of others. They come to understand how personal, group and national identities are shaped, and the variable and changing nature of culture. The capability involves students in learning about and engaging with diverse cultures in ways that recognise commonalities and differences, create connections with others and cultivate mutual respect.

  17. ACARA – Revised General Capabilities in the Australian Curriculum: Intercultural Understanding (cont.) • Intercultural understanding is an essential part of living with others in the diverse world of the twenty-first century. It assists young people to become responsible local and global citizens, equipped through their education for living and working together in an interconnected world. http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/GeneralCapabilities/Overview/General-capabilities-in-the-Australian-Curriculum

  18. ACARA – Revised General Capabilities in the Australian Curriculum: Intercultural Understanding Organising elements The Intercultural understanding learning continuum is organised into three interrelated organising elements: • Recognising culture and developing respect • Interacting and empathising with others • Reflecting on intercultural experiences and taking responsibility
