Topic areas are intentionally broad to encourage a wide range of backgrounds, ideas, and discussions.
the webcases introduce and exemplify some of the approaches known to improve language learning outcomes for students. They are:- Input: Exposure to the target language. Learners need exposure to lots of meaningful and understandable language.
- Output: Providing opportunities for practising and using the language. Classroom activities should allow students to use natural and meaningful language with their classmates.
- Interaction: The opportunity to interact in the target language is central to developing proficiency. Social interaction is the context in which language acquisition takes place. When learners have a need to communicate, they will engage in negotiating for meaning. Teachers can incorporate interactive tasks into their programme.
In addition, the New Zealand Curriculum states that language knowledge and cultural knowledge support the core stand of communication. An exploratory and reflective approach to culture and culture-in-language is part of developing an intercultural competence.
