the Japan Foundation Sydney Language Centre has been producing
activity resources which contain activities, exercises and stimulus
materials for primary and secondary Japanese language learners.
These sets of activity resources are available on application under
the Centre's donation program. In this issue we focus on activities which integrate aspects of other key learning areas into language learning. Recently in the various states, particularly in primary school, there has been a movement towards integration, or embedment, of the whole curriculum into language learning,. An integrated approach is one which incorporates content from other subject areas and relies on tasks that draw on both language and content to solve communication needs. It is particularly suited to primary classes where class teachers focus on long-term themes, but it can also be applied to secondary learners. When links are made with other subjects through the target language, the language program becomes more relevant to the learner. It is hoped that teachers will not only use these tasks and activities as they are, but will change and reapply them to suit the needs of their students. The Japan Foundation Sydney Language Centre hopes that regular issues of these resources will give teachers a greater range of activities to choose from and thereby enhance their teaching programs. |
