Australia Day, 26th January, is a day to acknowledge the history of the country and to celebrate the land, lifestyle and most importantly, the people. Australia is rich with diversity and it can be exciting to learn about the different cultures (and languages!) around you. To dive into the diversity with your class, we’ve create a trio of Australian themed language learning activities!
You and your students can learn many more words and phrases through fun games and activities with Languagenut. Click below to learn more about the benefits of Languagenut or to sign-up for a free 30-day trial.
