What students learn in AC9E3LA01
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of That cooperation with others depends on shared understanding of social.... The goal is not to memorise one answer pattern. Students should be able to explain the idea, recognise it in a new example and apply it in a short practice or worksheet task.
- Start with the main idea: understand that cooperation with others depends on shared understanding of social conventions, including turn-taking language, which vary according to the degree of formality.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- recognising and using collaborative language in group and pair work; for example, initiating a topic, changing a topic through negotiation, affirming other speakers and building on their comments, asking relevant questions, providing useful feedback, prompting, and checking individual and group understanding
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
