Action Research Projects PDF Print E-mail
Under the Strategic Partnerships Program (SPP) of the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD), the MLTAV is running two Professional Learning projects 2009-11:

"Mentoring for Beginning Teachers of Languages"
"Interdisciplinary Learning in LOTE from Years K-6"
The MLTAV is most grateful for the financial support provided by the DEECD for these projects, as it has allowed us to provide quality, work-place based, ongoing Professional Learning for Languages teachers in Victoria.

We are very pleased that so many Languages professionals have take this opportunity to be involved in a vibrant Professional Learning community - not only will they work to improve professional knowledge and practice, but they will become active members of networks of dedicated LOTE teachers in Victoria.

Assessment for, as and of Learning
Project Officer: Judy Hadju

Teachers will be encouraged to to prepare a range of assessment tasks to cater for their learners, rather than relying on the "one task suits all" approach. This project will directly address the DoE Assessment Advice, along with Principles of Learning and Teaching, taking into account current pedagogical developments in Literacy, Numeracy and Middle Years as per the expectations set by the LOTE Progression Measures and Standards. Follow this link to download the full FINAL REPORT and PROJECT SUMMARIES.
