Synopsis: The unit is designed to develop awareness and understanding of the language related needs of students from non-English speaking backgrounds and to develop skills in meeting these needs within the context of mainstream unit teaching. Students will be introduced to the notion of a culturally inclusive curriculum and given guidance and practice in evaluating and designing appropriate materials and activities. They will experience learning in a second language and consider the implications of this experience for their own teaching.
