My guest blogger this week is Joanne Fenton, Languages Faculty Head at Macarthur Anglican School, where Indonesian is taught from Kindergarten through to Year 12. She writes:
“Where are you from?” “Wow, you are so good at Indonesian!” “Where are you studying?” Anyone who has visited Indonesia will know the friendliness of the Indonesian people. People love to ask questions of tourists, showing great interest in the Australian way of life and in us as individuals. As Christians, we are called to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and to love our neighbour as ourselves. What if we could give our students a simple but practical way to show love and care for others through teaching them conversational skills?

Let's be realistic. Time for reflective planning is a luxury we don't always have. But let's not give up! Sometimes the best ideas come in a flash of inspiration. Even in those last moments as we prepare for a lesson, we can be open to seeing a new way to engage young minds. To ask: "What if...?"
What if that we could take our students, and maybe ourselves, to new and meaningful places of discovery and learning? Sometimes all that is required is a simple, yet effective, pedagogical shift. |
