Questions teachers ask

What do students learn in Year 8 Languages?
The Australian Curriculum v9 has 352 Languages content descriptions for Year 8 (some are written for a band of years: Years 7 and 8). They are listed on this page with their codes.
How do I plan a Year 8 Languages lesson for a content description?
Choose "Plan this" next to the content description. Heapso opens a lesson plan set to Year 8 Languages with that code linked, so the plan is built around it. You can change anything before Pip writes.
