Læreplanen for lærerutdanningen i fremmedspråk på barnetrinnet 1.-7. trinn


Læreplanen
Det er i hovedsak to emner på 30 studiepoeng som bygger på hverandre. Kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse er hovedområdene med kompetansemål.
Diskusjoner: vurdering og grunnleggende ferdigheter er et satsingsområde, Forskriften: grunnlegende ferdigheter, flerkulturelle perspektivet. Andre tema tilpasset opplæring og vurdering omtales i andre sammenhenger men de skal behandles.
Kjennetegn: innspill har kommet på mange områder, kvalitativ og kvantitativ karakter- overlevert til følgeforskningen. Institusjonene skal selv jobbe med disse områdene. En bred vurderingskompetanse må sikres.


Et eksempel fra New Zealand som har en annen tradisjon enn oss.

Dette er New Zealands beskrivelse av tidlig språklæring i skolesammenheng. Vi skal ikke bruke dette, men det kan gi oss noen assosiasjoner til arbeid med de grunnleggende ferdighetene.
