=Shine DEECD Magazine= If you want an electronic copy of Shine go to http://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/news/shine/current.htm

“September 2009” has 3 lote articles. Sometimes we don’t have the time to read Shine and some of us don’t work in government schools. It’s great it is in Shine as non –language teachers read it also. You can add the article also from Shine “Deutschland delivers valuable lessons in language teaching” on page 26. I would read pages 54 – Why learning another language improves English skills. You can laminate a copy for Parent teacher nights. There is another article about Why I send my child to a bilingual school on page 58 also. Remember to write it in your professional reading – PD log. Happy professional reading,
