number of scholarships are available for aspiring teachers who are currently
employed in complementary languages education providers and have
native/fluent proficiency in a language and undergraduate tertiary
qualifications in any discipline. The attached circular from DEECD provides
information about this.
DEECD has requested we provide this information to language instructors in
Community Languages Schools who may be interested and eligible to apply .

International Mother Language Day
Languages Australia
sends it heartiest greetings on the occasion of the 2012 International Mother

LEARNING A LANGUAGE IS NOT JUST WORDS
The Melbourne Age, Matthew Davies - April 28,
2008
View
Article
It is in Australia's best interest to look beyond speaking only English.
THE 2020 Summit missed half of the problem: Australia's weakness in foreign
languages comes from widespread problems of attitude. Overcoming bad
attitudes is crucial to mastering languages. How could Australians miss the
publicity for Prime Minister Rudd's command of Mandarin? And what does it
say of Australian identity and our place in the world when such pride and
curiosity greet a public figure who has mastered another tongue very
different from his first language of English?
