Speaking our language: The story of Australian English “...of all the markers of identity, language is by far the most significant. This language we speak, which gives voice to our Australian identity is not, however, a uni-faceted thing. It is...a multi- faceted entity. Australian English is central to the process of giving voice to our Australian identity: in important ways, we are WHAT we speak, and we are HOW we speak.” Bruce Moore

Pre-assess students’ spelling knowledge of words in the 2008 Oxford Wordlist no matter what their year level Implications for educators: 1 Pre-assess students’ spelling knowledge of words in the 2010 Oxford Wordlist Plus Words that students can already spell should not be included in their spelling programs

Implications for educators: 2 Unknown words need to be taught Words in the 2010 Oxford Wordlist Plus may be used as a springboard Develop students’ spoken and written vocabulary Teach students how to write more complex sentences

Implications for educators: 3 Consolidate students’ understanding of regular and irregular verbs Tread carefully when putting quantity of words ahead of quality Adverbs enhance verbs Prepositions have a place! Keep building knowledge about compound words

Implications for educators: 4 Expand pronoun knowledge Increase expertise in the use of adjectives Keep teaching comparatives and superlatives Designated NAPLAN text types aren’t the only genre to be taught
