Developing and Embedding Reading and Writing Practices in the Languages Classroom

This presentation explores the critical role of literacy in second language classrooms, focusing on the interconnectedness of language and literacy development. With the rollout of the 2.0 Literacy and Languages Victorian Curriculum, we emphasise the importance of embedding literacy practices in the languages classroom. The session highlights the use of effective Reading and Writing tools and practices, such as Mentor texts, Reciprocal Reading and Language Experience, tailored to second language learners. Fundamentally, this presentation will provide opportunities for you to explore engaging practices to develop proficient readers and writers in a second language classroom.
