Students are advised to check MyUni regularly for important languages related information. All course materials will be posted, including templates for adaptation in assignments. Contact details for languages education and professional learning opportunities such as language conferences and workshops will also be posted. Discussion online of key educational issues for all students will be expected and assessed throughout semester 1 and 2.

Workshops and Group work will allow students to work collaboratively in building resources, establishing contacts and networking with practising teachers. This course will be taught through a weekly 2 hour workshop and will be run in conjunction with the compulsory CAL course. It is a 2 semester course which will run for 8 weeks in Semester 1 and a further 8 weeks in Semester 2.

The course gives opportunity for practical application of language teaching strategies within a supportive classroom environment. Workshops will be interactive, incorporating a blend of whole class directed activity and, where possible, language specific group work. This will depend on student enrolment numbers within the cohort.

In the first sessions, students will be encouraged to explore their own beliefs and experiences of language learning in shaping their identities as language teachers. During these first weeks the course will focus on lesson planning with opportunity for practice through group presentations of a text type. The group presentation will support students in working toward the major individual assessment piece for this course due in semester 2.

First semester workshops will also look at unit planning with reference to current curriculum documents. Second semester workshops will examine SACE curriculum and whole school language planning.

The practical focus of the workshops will allow strategies in effective classroom management to be regularly practised and shared in preparing for teaching practice block.

The contact time for the course is two hours per week. On top of this students are expected to spend approximately two hours per week on individual work related to the course. This will primarily involve familiarisation with specific curriculum documents and reading and preparation as directed during seminars. Time spent on formal assessment tasks is in addition to weekly reading.

 Students will be required to plan ahead and visit ‘in the field’ for an excursion component required for Assignment 1 on Week 3 in lieu of the usual scheduled tutorial.

Students will be required to work in small groups as Discovery Experience for both Assignments 1 & 3.

They will explore the concepts of a relevant excursion in small groups for the required component for Assignment 1.

They will also collaborate in small groups online to understand; engage; reflect and express their individual viewpoints and perspectives for 4 topics for Assignment 3.

ASSIGNMENT 1 UNIT PLAN
Assignment Guidelines and Criteria
Assignment 1: Unit Plan, Lesson Plan, Excursion and Reflection
Guidelines
Lesson and unit planning are at the core of your teaching practicum. This assignment aims to support you in your first efforts at designing and implementing a unit of work for Language students.
Note that: It is preferable that you design your unit plan for Middle Years students (Year 8 or 9). Your unit should be actually implemented - keep it practical and within your school context. Below is a description of what should be included. Language Curriculum and Methodology seminars will provide further information, exemplars and support on how to go about constructing your unit plan. Proformas for the Lesson Plan and Reflection will be posted on MyUni. Excursion details should include Aim/Purpose; Location; Activity; Assessment and Expected Outcomes.

It is up to you whether you
a) Design you own unit plan structure
b) Adapt an existing unit plan structure (ie one provided through this course or by a school/mentor teacher)
c) Combine an existing design with your own ideas

Unit plans are designed to meet the needs of the students they are intended for. There is no single way of going about it. Your final product should however include the following aspects:

Incorporation of SACSA Framework ( or SACE / school document ) Key ideas Essential learnings Equity perspectives Other elements of curriculum documents
Description of tasks Sequencing Relevance Progression in learning

Assessment Relevant to unit Demonstrates intended learning outcomes of unit

Cohesiveness Unit focus Descriptors Learning tasks Assessment
Assessment criteria for the task can be found below.

ASSIGNMENT 2
YEAR 10 LANGUAGE TEXT ANALYSIS TASK
This assignment addresses the following graduate attributes in its assessment: 1,2,3,6,8

Description
The text analysis task is a learning process designed by you for students at Year 10 level. It aims to prepare students for text analysis in Year 11 and 12, where they are expected to be familiar with a range of text types. The task should be complex and developed over a sequence of around five lessons.

Guidelines for design and submission
The following four parts will be assessed. Within each part, each dot point needs to be addressed to fulfill the requirements of the assignment.
 
Part 1: Select an authentic text appropriate for Year 10 level.
Provide a 200 word justification for your choice of text including: Learner context: why the text is suitable for Year 10 learners Curriculum context: how the task connects to the SACSA Framework Prior knowledge: what previous learning is required for students to undertake the task 
  
Part 2: Text type and features Present the text and a translation in English. Describe the text type and features of the text. Give examples from the text that illustrate each feature. 
  
Part 3: Process of teaching and learning
Describe how you will present the text to students. Consider the following questions in
designing a learning process: How will students be expected to respond to the text? What are the components of the task? (ie What exercises/activities will students engage in?) How will the task encourage critical thinking? What learning styles are being incorporated into this process? What will students produce as a final outcome of the task? How will the task enhance understanding of this text type?
Include worksheets, instructions for students and/or any additional resources.
  
Part 4: Criteria for Assessment
Design an assessment process that demonstrates student learning. Include:
Formative assessment: evaluation of progress along the way
eg self evaluation, peer assessment, teacher feedback Summative assessment: evaluation of final product
ie How will marks be allocated? What will marks be allocated for? How will
feedback be provided to students?
A rubric is recommended as a way of showing how students can complete the task at different levels.
