NSW School of Languages Stage 6 Online Languages Courses
NSW School of Languages offers distance education languages to 2600 students from all education sectors. Teacher-writers have developed ten new online language courses which bring together the latest research in languages pedagogy and the best use of technology. Early results have shown increased student engagement with the courses and students are demonstrating greater skills in authentic language use. Teachers have developed their skills in the use of collaborative, project-based focus tasks and in giving meaningful feedback. Teachers are able to differentiate for individual learners and ensure that students meet the high expectations presented by the courses.
