12 May: Languages Links 4: In-country study programmes and learning achievement

Tuesday 12 May, 2015, 4:00-5:30pm, Willetton SHS, Theatre.

A workshop facilitated by the Department of Education through the Teacher Development School (TDS) for Languages at Willetton SHS. DOE teachers can register via the Department’s professional learning portal at http://det.wa.edu.au/professionallearning/detcms/portal/. For further registration information, please contact Kathryn Ford at [email protected].

The AEF What Works series highlights the importance of in-country study programs for students and teachers and how these programs have catalysed and/or enabled personal transformations and motivation in students. Just as importantly, students report that they significantly improve their levels of achievement when they return to school.

Teachers present strategies for organising in-country study programs and for developing cultural knowledge and intercultural understanding in students, leading to positive changes at school.
