Examples
This page contains the examples which are used to illustrate features of the Guide in the User's Handbook, both the examples of programs for each of six languages and three different levels, plus the smaller examples of how teachers have integrated some of the ideas in the Guide in more specific areas of teaching. It is probably more helpful, particularly with the practice examples, to look at the examples in the User's Handbook, where the examples are related directly to the chapters of the Guide. However we have collected all the examples together here for easy reference.
It is important to point out that these examples are not some instance of 'best practice'. This is because 'best practice' in one context may not necessarily be transferred in the same way to another context. Rather they are examples of what language teachers themselves have developed in the course of their work and reflection on that work. The examples have been taken from a variety of sources: directly from teachers specifically for this Guide, but also from other recently developed national projects run by the Research Centre for Languages and Cultures where teachers have reflected on their teaching, such as the 'Assessing student learning in languages and cultures education' project, the 'Intercultural language teaching and learning in practice' project (ILTLP) and the Professional Standards Project: Languages (PSPL); naturally, we have asked the teachers' permission to reproduce their work here!
