Abstract

In Australia’s changing curriculum landscape, it would be helpful for teachers of English, Languages (such as Indonesian or French) and English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D) to work together to identify shared goals, to promote plurilingual notions of language and literacy and, where appropriate, to align language and literacy teaching practices. This article provides four suggestions for collaborative practices which should strengthen educational outcomes in our linguistically and culturally diverse school populations.
