This is driven by the belief that subject English isn't:
- learning the same as learning English language
- aimed at second language acquisition

2. The language ideologies driving this policy would be to move away from a monolingual habitus and mindset, and instead embrace a more diverse view ]]> 2016-10-12 06:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130029985 https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030081 Some sort of focus on the cultural aspects of language within and without the confines of a scholastic context; 

What is learner English?"
What is native English?
 What's my English? Etc...

Just the general inquiry driven, reflective meta-linguistic/cognitive work you can use to personalise learning and put a creative spin on things...]]> 2016-10-12 06:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030081 1. Language Policies we want to see: sahara_b_m https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030090
·      Acknowledging that EAL students do not have the same English as mainstream students
·      Allowing all linguistic resources in the classroom (including in some component of each assessment)
·      Creating assessment that is tailored to students and their levels rather than a set of standards that do not take account of students’ linguistic and cultural diversity and educational background etc

2. Ideologies:

Acknowledging that the dominant language in Australia comes from a history of colonisation and acknowledging the power that has been given to particular people from that

Acknowledging that Australia is a multicultural, multilingual country and that all languages and cultures are valid and should be encouraged

Some students need more than 6-12 months in a Language centre before being booted to a high school.  kelly_robyn16 https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030155 2016-10-12 06:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030155 sarahfangningl https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030352 2016-10-12 06:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030352 Love and Language https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030528 Students should not just learn the language of English, but also the language of love (i.e. communicating feelings, conflict-resolution, intercultural sensitivity etc ...)]]> 2016-10-12 06:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030528 sarahfangningl https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030630 2016-10-12 06:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030630 https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030903 2016-10-12 06:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_choi/vxkpexpz6073/wish/130030903
