The K10 syllabuses are advisory materials to support teachers as they continue with their implementation of the Curriculum Framework. The Scope and Sequence documents provide support in developing comprehensive teaching and learning programs from primary to Year 10. For Languages, the documents describe the recommended content and contexts that should be taught in each year of the middle childhood phase of development (4-7) and the early adolescent phase of development (8-10) in order for students to progress in their language learning. When using these advisory materials, teachers will continue to make professional judgments about when to introduce content, based on students’ previous learning and achievements. Language specific sample programs, assessment tasks and teacher resources are available on the DET Portal and from a Languages Teacher Development Centre Coordinator.
The full range of Languages courses for Stages 1, 2 and 3, as well as support material, can be found on the Curriculum Council’s website. Teachers can access additional advice and professional support through the Department’s team of WACE Languages TDCs.
