Australian Studies Symposium ‘Australia’s language education policy: multicultural approaches for Japan’
12 June 2011
The symposium for the research of Australian studies began in 1989. The 22nd symposium, ‘Australian languages education: multicultural approaches for Japan’, will address the policies and approach to language education for the largely immigrant population of Australia. What approaches of this ‘immigration nation’ can be useful for Japan as it begins to turn to a more open immigration policy?
Panels will include LOTE Asian languages education program, the policy implications from surveys of language use and social integration indicators, surveys of immigrant workers in nursing and aged care, and overall foreign languages education policies of federal government.
