Each of the learning experiences in The Polyglots Go Camping is aligned to the Australian Curriculum: Languages, for Foundation to Year 2.
Go Camping
App 9 overview
Go Camping
The Polyglots Go Camping is set in a fun camping ground, with tents, a campfire and games. It provides opportunities for children in early primary to revise greetings and to learn language for labelling family members.
Language learning features
- Repetition: Words are repeated in meaningful contexts, providing many opportunities to hear the language.
- Visual cues: Visual cues and gestures are aligned with spoken language to reinforce and emphasise meaning. The app uses the interactive functionality of the tablet.
- Production: children have opportunities to produce the language. The learning experiences encourage children to mimic and play with sounds, words and short phrases.
Cultural references
Language learning experts emphasise the importance of linking language to culture. To inspire children’s curiosity about Korean culture, the learning experiences feature cultural items and characters from Korea. Some of the cultural items can be found in other apps.
Unique learning experiences
Each school community is unique. Teachers will find a variety of ways to apply the learning experiences in The Polyglots Go Camping to a particular child, group of children, school or community.
