Our Asian Stories - a place to share

The NSW Department of Education and Communities is about to launch a new website: Our Asian Stories.
The website will provide support for The Arts, English, Geography, History and Languages.
It contains:
1. Background information relating to why Asia is a significant part of our curriculum
2. A suite of resources which relate to intercultural communication
3. A searchable gallery of DEC resources, including those linked to the Australian Curriculum
4. A searchable gallery of teacher-developed resources
5. Related links.
We would love you to contribute your resources! Work needs to be original and contain no third-party images or photographs. Microsoft Clip Art, your own photographs or creative commons images are all okay. Contact ourasianstories@det.nsw.edu.au if you'd like more details. Imagine if every teacher contributed just one resource...

Hindi resources

The 2012 White Paper, Australia in the Asian Century, has a range of national objectives, including:
11. All Australian students will have the opportunity, and be encouraged, to undertake a continuous course of study in an Asian language throughout their years of schooling. All students will have access to at least one priority Asian language; these will be Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Indonesian and Japanese.

In response, the NSW Curriculum and Learning Innovation Centre has created seven IWB resources for Hindi. Students’ language skills will be developed though a range of activities, including matching games, ‘drag-and-drop’ and class surveys.
The resources have been carefully designed to support both teachers of Hindi and mainstream classroom teachers, with images and sound files supporting both background and non-background speakers.
