Introduction
This is the second core unit in Secondary Languages curriculum and, as such, must be completed by all students seeking qualification in Languages teaching method.
The unit introduces you to fundamental principles and practices of language learning and teaching while also building your own teaching expertise. The unit takes a broad view of various receptive and productive skills to embrace oral and visual literacies as well as reading and writing. It also explores the impact of new technologies and globalisation on languages and highlights the importance of critical literacy as well as examining the interrelationships between language and culture.
This unit also seeks to develop in students the capacity to teach effectively all aspects of the curriculum for languages appropriate to the secondary Years 11 and 12 with particular emphasis on Stage 6 courses. While the general principles of teaching languages covered in the Secondary Method 1X – L anguages will be embraced, this unit seeks to address the particular teaching strategies relating to the new NSW syllabus documents for Preliminary and HSC language courses. Opportunities to develop suitable techniques of programming, assessment and evaluation will also be provided. Typically, the unit will address Syllabuses in languages from the following list: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Vietnamese.
The unit Secondary Method 2X Languages will be taught as a combination of lectures, tutorials and workshops. There are weekly readings that support the unit content. Throughout the semester you will be provided with opportunities to practise skills such as analysis and synthesis of ideas in readings, oral presentation, and referencing. You will also engage in reflections that will assist you to articulate your developing understandings of language teaching throughout the semester.

A special web page has been set up at:
to help students locate key policies and information
5. Expectations of student conduct
Lectures and tutorials provide an opportunity for students to explore and engage in structured activities that will assist in their fulfilment of unit outcomes. As such, students are encouraged to attend all lectures and tutorials. In our experience, students who do not attend lectures and tutorials are poorly equipped to successfully complete assessment tasks. 80% attendance to lectures and tutorials is required to pass this unit.
Non Face to Face Sessions – Learning tasks started in face to face sessions should be completed and displayed in hard copy ready for the next face to face session. In addition, students should read widely and engage in appropriate Library and Internet based research.
6. Assessment information
There are two assignments in this unit. This learning guide provides you with additional information that will assist you with the completion of these assignments.
Assessment details (40%)
Three key aspects of the delivery of quality teaching are the development of units of work, the preparation of scope and sequence and the interpretation of those documents into individual lessons. In class you will be introduced to all three aspects and the relationship between the three will be explored.
For this assignment you are asked to focus upon individual lessons for Stage 6 Languages based on a specific teaching approach. The lessons will be in sufficient depth to occupy approximately sixty minutes each and it will cover the preliminary course of stage 6.
a) Choose the conceptualisation of teaching on which you will base your lesson plan
b) Select a sub-topic from prescribed themes in the syllabus
c) Design three detailed, thoughtful and workable lessons on your topic of choice (you need to choose the same topic for your three lesson)
These will need to include:
- syllabus outcomes stated in full
- a brief rationale for your choice of texts, or other mediums (e.g. ICT, visuals, etc.)
- purpose of each lesson
- resources listed for each lesson need to be attached
- assessment strategies for each lesson
- planned teaching / learning activities
The most important point is this:

LESSON PLAN Prepared by L. Davies
Subject: Stage 6 French Continuers Preliminary Course Topic: Arts and entertainment Sub-topic: Music Lesson #: 2
Lesson Title: Exploring French-speaking communities through their music #2 Date: 03/03/2010 Time allocated: 60 minutes
Syllabus Outcomes:
3.1 The student conveys the gist of texts and identifies specific information
3.6 The student infers points of view, attitudes or emotions from language and context
Purpose of lesson: To consolidate students’ understanding of the meaning of song “Souvenir” and explore the points of view, attitudes and emotions expressed in the song. Lesson Outcomes Students will learn: 1. learn new French vocabulary 2. to enhance their understanding of the gist/overall meaning of the song “Souvenir” by MC Solaar and demonstrate their understanding by acting out the narrative of the song 3. to identify different elements of music that express the musician’s points of view, attitudes and emotions 4. to identify and explain the points of view, attitudes and emotions expressed in the song “Souvenir” 5. to reflect on new learning
Text (song): “Souvenir” by MC Solaar
Rationale for choice of text: This song is by a contemporary French rap artist whose music communicates important social, political and cultural issues not only in France but also world-wide. Studying the song “Souvenir” will provide students with an opportunity to explore the artist’s community. Moreover, it is hoped that this contemporary style of music will appeal to, and therefore engage, students.

Tell students that today we’re going to continue studying the song we listened to last lesson to continue working on understanding the gist/meaning of the song and then move on to start looking at identifying and understanding the point of view, attitudes and emotions expressed in the song.
Homework review and group activity to develop understanding of the gist/meaning of the song.
Teacher uses corresponding learning activity to help students develop their understanding of the gist/meaning of the song “Souvenir” by MC Solaar
Teacher to start a new word bank on the whiteboard this lesson and add any of the new words discussed during the group activity to the word bank (scaffolding; visual learners). Teacher to encourage students to add these words to their own word banks that they started last lesson, again encouraging students to use words, pictures or diagrams to help them learn the words – whatever they prefer (scaffolding [teacher modelling]; visual & kinaesthetic learners; vocabulary development).
Ask students to form groups of 3 people with those people sitting near them and:
1. go through the answers they got in their homework for words they didn’t know – students to compare answers, use context and dictionaries together to ascertain the meaning of unknown words (Application” level of Bloom’s taxonomy; student-centred learning; co-operative learning; problem-solving skills; speaking, listening & reading skills; vocabulary development; visual & auditory learners).

CONTEXT: STUDENTS LEARNT THE VOCABULARY FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS TOPIC “AU MARCHÉ” (“ALLONS-Y 1”: CHAPITRE 6) AND HAVE PRACTISED ASKING FOR THEM USING THE EXPRESSIONS, (JE VOUDRAIS …, DONNEZ-MOI …) WHICH WERE LEARNT IN THE PREVIOUS TOPIC “AU CAFÉ” (“ALLONS-Y 1”: CHAPITRE 5), USING ONLY A NUMBER OR THE PARTITIVE ARTICLE TO EXPRESS QUANTITY.
LESSON 1
THE KEY CONCEPTS FOR THIS LESSON ARE THAT:
MARKETS HAVE A GREATER CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE IN FRANCE THAN IN AUSTRALIA
The currency of France and Europe is the euro (€)
The language of buying and selling such as “Ça fait combien?” is also used to ask a price in French
“Ça fait …” is also used to give a price in French
The structure “number/measure de …” is used when expressing quantity e.g. Deux kilos de bananes / une barquette de fraises

DESCRIPTION OF LESSON STRATEGY
QUALITY TEACHING EVIDENCE
22
Throughout Focus is on asking for quantities of fruit and vegetables at the markets and asking the price Deep knowledge – lessons focus on the concepts of quantities and prices relating to buying fruit and vegetables and associated language structures High expectations – teacher and students maximise use of target language Higher-order thinking – maximising use of the target language requires students to infer meaning and process the language.
1
(5 mins)
(20 mins)
(10 mins)
Group work – using photos of stalls of produce being sold in a typical market in southern France
Students are given a group worksheet (appendix E) and an explanation of the process for their group work, the goal to be achieved and what a good response/performance would be like.
Ask students to compare and discuss in groups
type of goods for sale
display of goods
importance of markets
use of markets
Further class discussion based on feedback from each group Explicit quality criteria – students are given clear criteria for what is required to complete the photo worksheet (appendix E) Substantive communication – students are involved in a focused discussion based on photos and group issues Narrative – students‟ personal experiences at markets in their neighbourhood and teacher‟s accounts of shopping at markets in France are related Higher-order thinking – students make comparisons of markets between France and Australia (analysing) and make judgements (evaluating) about the importance of markets Problematic knowledge – the class discusses the reasons why the French approach buying fruit and vegetables in a different way to many Australians
23
2
(5 mins)
Review prior knowledge
Ask students to recall
how to ask for fruit and vegetables
how to ask the price
Students practise asking for fruit and vegetables and asking the price
Teacher uses flashcards of fruit or plastic fruit and asks:
T: Vous désirez? (holds up card or fruit)
S: Je voudrais des bananes.
T: Vous désirez?
S: Les bananes, c’est combien? Background knowledge – students‟ prior learning of the vocabulary for fruit and vegetables is recognised and drawn on Deep understanding – students demonstrate their understanding of buying fruit and asking the price
3
(2 mins)
Introduce in prices in euro
Explain how prices are written and said in euro eg. €2,50
Ask students to recall numbers used in sample prices on flashcards
Teacher uses flashcards of prices and asks:
T: C’est combien?
S: C’est 2 euros 50. Deep knowledge – students focus on prices in euro and respond to questions about prices Background knowledge – students‟ prior learning of numbers is recognised and drawn upon
24
4
(2 mins)
Students respond to a question using euro
Introduce “Ça fait combien?” and “Ça fait …?” as another way of asking and giving the price in French
Teacher uses flashcards of prices and asks:
T: Ça fait combien?
S: Ça fait 2 euros 50. Deep understanding – students demonstrate their understanding of prices and associated language structures Higher-order thinking – students respond by manipulating new and learnt information to transform meaning when giving a price based on a visual cue Problematic knowledge – acknowledging that there are different ways of expressing the same idea
5
(20 mins)
Introduce quantities when buying fruit and vegetables
Explain expressions of quantity
List and practise expressions
Teacher uses flashcards of quantities of fruit and vegetables and says: Je voudrais un kilo de bananes svp
Students repeat a) as a group
b) individually
Students practise asking for quantities of fruit and vegetables
Teacher uses same flashcards and asks:
T: Vous désirez?
S: Je voudrais un kilo de bananes svp
Recall other uses of de Metalanguage – explanation of de (of) after expressions of quantity in contrast to the partitive article and de (from) Deep understanding – students demonstrate their understanding of the expressions of quantity and associated language structures Higher-order thinking – students infer meaning of new language using visual clues and prior knowledge to ask for a quantity of fruit or vegetables
25
6
(10 mins)
Students use language without prior modelling
Students ask each other questions about the price of fruit or vegetables and/or give an appropriate answer, including quantities
Teacher uses same flashcards but students ask:
S1: Bonjour M./ Mlle. Vous désirez?
S2: Je voudrais un kilo de bananes svp. C’est combien?
S1: C’est 2€,50 le kilo
S2: Donnez-moi 2 kilos svp Deep understanding – students demonstrate their understanding of quantities and prices and associated language structures Higher-order thinking – students apply and transform knowledge by constructing a mini-dialogue based on visual cues to ask for fruit or vegetables, to ask the price and/or to state a quantity Substantive communication – students are required to produce an elaborate and coherent dialogue using complex ideas * Inclusivity– all students ask and answer questions, either group to group or student to student
7
(5 mins)
Exercises to reinforce prices and quantities
Written homework
Students must determine the appropriate expressions of quantity to use and calculate prices based on the quantities of certain fruit and vegetables
Allons-y 1 workbook activities
Ex 6.14, 6.26, 6.27 (appendix A, B, C) Deep understanding – students demonstrate their understanding of quantities and prices and associated language structures in written work Knowledge integration – students make a connection with numeracy for ex. 6.14 Metalanguage – Students are required to make reference to language use
