4. Explanation
Present a 1,000 word explanation, using recent research, of your pedagogical choices for these lessons and how they develop language learning.
JUSTIFICATION
Overview
These three lesson plans focus on the topic “Family”, the learners are Stage 4, Year 7 students in NSW. The class is made up of 20, mixed ability non-Chinese background students.
The lesson plan is designed to achieve K-10 Chinese Syllabus outcomes. A range of activities are designed to promote students learning ability as well as their communication skills. Apart from teaching language
skills, the lessons also build a connection between Australian and Chinese cultures. It gives the students a great chance to experience Chinese culture as well as their own. Moreover, taken into consideration of
individual students’ learning style and needs, differentiated teaching approaches are developed to facilitate effective learning. Furthermore, scaffold and feedback are given to assist students’ learning during the lesson.
Cultural and Language
Language is a means of communication, it plays an imperative role in developing, explaining and delivering culture. Xu (2012) believes that teaching language is to promote effective cultural communication

across nations, rather than the language itself. In addition to, Gao (2014) highlights that Australian students are more attracted by Chinese food and culture than the language itself. When motivate students to learn
Chinese, it is important to relate the learning material, such as vocabulary to a student’s personal life experiences. Undoubtedly, it is overwhelming for a Chinese beginner to learn Chinese characters. Research shows
that human have an excellent ability to memorize pictures, therefore, encoding characters into images can helps students to remember terms and grasp their meanings accurately (Cheryl, Anthony, Rajah and Fergus,
1998) In the lesson plan, Chinese characters are deconstructed into two sides, each side is encoded into either an image or an item that students are familiar with. Once students are able to link the character to
something that they have prior knowledge of, it becomes much easier for them to memorize.
Differentiation
A supportive, safe, and engaging classroom environment is essential to learn any language. In this case, teacher’s warm welcome and interaction with students at the beginning of the class plays an important
role in whether students are going to enjoy the class or not.
Students’ responsiveness and teacher’s teaching enthusiasm are interrelated (Chen, 2015). Therefore, a variety of learning activities such as singing a song, playing kahoot, drawing family tree, questioning and
answering are designed in the lesson plan to stimulate students’ interest in learning so that they will participate actively and learn effectively.
Moreover, when preparing a lesson, it is important to keep in mind that students’ learning ability is different. It means differentiated teaching strategy must be developed to cater each student’s learning needs.
According to Carpen and Hammond (2014), gifted and talented students value teachers’ behavior that will help them to achieve their academic outcomes. A mismatch between students’ learning style and teaching
approaches leads to ineffective learning as well as loss of confidence and interest in students (Csapo and Hayen, 2006). Hence, for those students, complicated and challenging tasks should be given to them to boost
their learning skills. On the other hand, for students who are struggled, more scaffold must be offered. Throughout the lesson plan, it is clearly to see that advanced students are given more time working on creative
tasks while students with struggle are assisted step by step. Apart from learning ability, the way students learn also vary. It means, one teaching strategy does not fit all. Throughout the lesson plan, it is clearly to see

that different teaching approaches are developed to meet visual learners’, auditory learners’ and kinesthetic learning needs. For example, for visual learners, video playing , using pictures are the best way to suit their
learning needs. For auditory students, singing songs, listening to teacher’s pronunciation are best fit them. For linguistic students, activities like pair work, interview are designed to cater their learning needs and last
for kinesthetic, using fingers to trace the numbers, standing up to imitate a Chinese character for person assists their learning ability.
Last but not the least, giving feedback to students is vitally important as it communicates the gap between a student’s ability and their outcomes. Assessments take place in different forms. Assess knowledge
that students learnt from last lesson is a formative way of feedback. It is important to evaluate how well students leant so that revision can be provided if necessary. Moreover, it gives teacher an idea about what
difficulties might occur in today’s lesson, so when teacher can spend more time on that area. Wilson (2012) highlights that feedback is an essential element in learning process, it provides information of how outcomes
are achieved. A couple of feedback methods are designed for the class. Since it is impossible to give feedback to every single student within 60 mins, for those gifted students, self-assessment and peer-assessment
are implemented. For those students who have difficulties with learning, nonverbal assessment can be given by teachers, such as a feedback sheet with different faces on it to represent how students learnt.
At the end of each class, students are asked to evaluate themselves. By identifying what they did well and what area needs improvement helps them to better understand the gap between their learning and
learning outcomes. More importantly, from a long term perspective, keeping a record of how they learn helps them to trace their progress.
In conclusion, the lesson plans are designed to facilitate students in achieving the syllabus outcomes, using different teaching strategies and best suits different learners.
