Our approach

KPS teaches Punjabi uses innovative teaching methods such as communicative language teaching (CLT)

  • Making sure that teachers and students speak Punjabi in class

  • Creating and learning from materials relevant to kids today, including local events and contexts

Kindergarten - Year 2

Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 students learn to speak and listen in Punjabi. They watch videos, listen to poems, stories and audio and sing songs.

Students who are background speakers also learn to write painti akhar (Punjabi alphabet) using vocal recognition skills.

We modify the order of the alphabets when we teach Paniti akhar so that students can learn easily as they are learning a new script.

  • Making sure that students focus on reading, writing, listening, and speaking equally

  • Supporting students to make mistakes and have a go in a safe environment

Year 3 & 4

Year 3 and Year 4 students learn to read and write using modelled language, text types templates and new vocabulary. They also engage in games, quizzes and other hands-on activities.

  • Encouraging kids to learn through games, photos and videos, discussions, and art

  • We use technological aids and a diverse range of resources to teach

Year 5 & 6

Year 5 and Year 6 students learn to express their opinions and think critically and creatively.

They engage in project work to strenthen their ability to read, write and speak in Punjabi.

We encourage them to seek to enrol in further study of Punjabi at high school level at the NSW Secondary College of Languages.

Where possible we link learning to other NESA K-10 syllabuses such as PDHPE, HSIE or Mathematics. This ensures continuity of learning and makes it relevant.
