Dr Britta Jensen looks at critical thinking and how to nurture intercultural capabilities in the language classroom. “We aim to teach students how to think rather than teach them what to think”. @brittatweeting #mltansw2024

This is a game changer for languages in NSW. If you’re a teacher and speak an additional language, you can now add languages as a teaching method.👇
Are you a current teacher with language proficiency who would like to add Languages as a teaching method? The Language Teaching Approval Program - an initiative to boost the number of Languages teachers in NSW schools. mteach.org.au/language-teach…
