About This Learning Module

This module is designed for all teachers and educators involved in delivering the Early Childhood Language Program. It focuses on the key skills, knowledge, and practices needed to effectively engage children in languages other than English.

We recommend using this module as a professional development opportunity for your whole team. It’s a great way to encourage discussion and plan together. If a team session isn’t possible, the module can also be completed individually.

We hope this module supports your work and adds value to your program. Your feedback is welcome and will help us continue to improve the resources and support available to all educators in the Early Childhood Language Program.
