What do students learn in Year 2 Languages?

The Australian Curriculum v9 has 174 Languages content descriptions for Year 2 (some are written for a band of years: Years 1 and 2). They are listed on this page with their codes.

How do I plan a Year 2 Languages lesson for a content description?

Choose "Plan this" next to the content description. Heapso opens a lesson plan set to Year 2 Languages with that code linked, so the plan is built around it. You can change anything before Pip writes.

Questions teachers ask

What do students learn in Year 2 Languages?: The Australian Curriculum v9 has 174 Languages content descriptions for Year 2 (some are written for a band of years: Years 1 and 2). They are listed on this page with their codes.
How do I plan a Year 2 Languages lesson for a content description?: Choose "Plan this" next to the content description. Heapso opens a lesson plan set to Year 2 Languages with that code linked, so the plan is built around it. You can change anything before Pip writes.

Plan your next Year 2 Languages unit

Heapso opens a unit plan set to Year 2 Languages. Add the content descriptions you're teaching and Pip cites only those.
