Lost in Translation: Supporting FAL Learners in a HL Classroom

Completion of this course earns you 5 SACE provider points.

Supporting the second language learner in your home language classroom is something any South African teacher has to think about more often than not. It can be quite a daunting task, especially when you cannot support them in the language they are most comfortable in because you cannot speak it.

This course explores five practical strategies that you can use to support learners and provide them with the coping mechanisms they’ll need to manage their language acquisition, communicate with you and fellow learners and be more comfortable in a classroom where they often feel out of their depth.
