We revisited the IRDPX and iPpit methodologies. We revisited the Sandwich methodology which we use mainly for kiwaha/phrase teaching. We also reconnected the 11 Principles of Instructed Second Language Acquisition (Ellis Erlam Sakui 2) with these methodologies.
It was a timely workshop especially for a few staff who are new to our school/different year levels this year.
We also discussed the Te Reo Maori me ona Tikanga committees plan for our Matariki Celebration in Week 9 and gave the staff a 'heads up' in regards to Maori Language Week in week 2 of Term 3.
The workshop ran smoothly and everyone felt it was a good refresher! Mauri ora!
