Different approaches: • How do you choose what you will teach: - Textbook chapter - Special event - Student interest - Teacher interest • Understanding Backwards Design (UBD) • Multi-disciplinary approach (cross KLA) • Could you use program as Language promotion document?
Key questions: • Are the aims of the unit of work clear? • What will students be able to do in TL at end of UOW? • Does it allow students to demonstrate progression? • Are the topics/themes/tasks authentic and engaging? • Does this UOW build on prior learning? Is the language learning cumulative? • Does this UOW differentiate? • Does this UOW enable students to achieve success? • Does this UOW challenge my students? Should I raise the bar?
Discussion and collaboration • What are the key elements of an effective Languages program? • How can I enhance my current Stage 4/5 programs?
