Course overview
This course explores pedagogies for working with children from different language backgrounds. It provides an experience in learning an additional language and reflecting on languages learning. Students engage with the Early Years Learning Framework for children in prior to school contexts, and the Australian Curriculum: Languages for children transitioning to school or in the primary years. They experience learning a language, through an introduction to Pitjantjatjara or Italian. They reflect on that experience in the context of learning an additional language, or of using a home or community language, and how this informs their support of all learners in diverse learning contexts.
