WHERE: Via Zoom. You’ll be sent a link after you book.
COST: $20 for ATESOL ACT & interstate TESOL association members; non-members $45.

***Registration EXTENDED to Monday 21st February 2022***

This professional learning program has been especially designed for teachers of English as an additional language or dialect to Indigenous, migrant and refugee background students in school and adult classrooms.

Museum educators will explore a variety of resources including the Australia’s Defining Moments Digital Classroom, and present a range of pedagogies, objects, narratives, and images that can assist your EAL/D students to develop their linguistic and semiotic capacities. These pedagogies and resources will also enhance students’ understanding of Australian history and social life by engaging with the stories and contributions of First Nation’s peoples and Australia’s past and present migrant settlers.

CLICK HERE TO BOOK NOW!

Please consider joining ATESOL ACT or your State/Territory TESOL association as there will be many other PL opportunities throughout the year. To join CLICK HERE.

END-OF-YEAR SOCIAL EVENT 

Due to the on-going inclement weather, the social event will be held after the 5pm ATESOL ACT AGM on 24th March at the Jamison/Macquarie Southern Cross Club – more details soon!

In the light of the weather forecast (showers) and the soggy ground, your Committee has regretfully decided to postpone our much anticipated social event to early in 2022.
(date TBC)
We are so sorry not to meet up with you before the end of the year. We sincerely hope next year will bring
better things!
