Unit Catalogue

In this unit, pre-service teachers critically examine Australian, state or territory Indigenous language and culture curricula and pedagogies, and identify the implications for teaching Indigenous language to first and second language learners in schools. Pre-service teachers examine the inter-relationships between curriculum, pedagogy and context and apply this knowledge to plan for Indigenous language and culture learning. This unit is intended for pre-service teachers who either speak an Indigenous language and who wish to teach it; or for those who are interested in facilitating the teaching of Indigenous languages and culture in schools.



Pre-service teachers who will be undertaking the unit at Batchelor should note that there are two compulsory intensive blocks at Batchelor for one week each.
