| Description | (May 2009) This unit of work involves some effective pedagogy that encourages reflective thought and action, facilitates shared learning and makes connections to prior learning and experience. It exemplifies a unit of work at the heart of the NZC Learning Languages statement: ‘Learning a new language provides a means of communicating with people from another culture and exploring one’s own personal world… Learning a new language extends students’ linguistic and cultural understanding and their ability to interact appropriately with other speakers’ (NZC p.24).
