ASILE conference presentation:
Individual paper Planning for learning: the concept-topic divide Abstract Typically, teachers have planned and taught units of work developed around content and/or topics. There is an opportunity in the Australian Curriculum: Languages to make a shift towards creating learning opportunities that are focused on concepts and developing conceptual understanding, and, in so doing, create a learning environment that is compelling, significant and intriguing for students. This workshop will provide justifications for making the shift from a content-based curriculum to a conceptual curriculum, highlight practical ways to assist teachers to make the shift, as well as an opportunity to consider the implications for their own classroom. |
