Book Description
The provision of languages education is a matter of careful planning and coordination between the various LOTE providers including government mainstream schools, the Victorian School of Languages (VSL) and community languages schools. This report focuses on the provision of languages through mainstream government schools and the VSL. Twenty-one languages were taught in government primary schools in 2003, 18 in secondary colleges and 44 through the VSL. In government primary and secondary schools, a total of 382,936 students studied a LOTE, with a further 15.566 primary and secondary students enrolled in the VSL, 10,410 of whom were government school students. The Distance Education Section of the VSL provided courses in 7 languages which were accessed by 17% of students studying through the VSL. Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, French, German, Chinese, Greek and Vietnamese continued to be the languages of the greatest demand overall. At the VSL, the eight languages with the most demand had a greater focus on community languages. The top eight languages at the VSL were Chinese, Vietnamese, Turkish, Greek, Arabic, Spanish, Japanese and Macedonian. With 47 languages accessible through government schools and the VSL, the Department of Education and Training hopes to maintain a breadth of high quality programs and language offerings in Victoria.

Book Description
The emergence of globalisation is bringing massive changes to all aspects of life, including language. In an effort to raise awareness on the effects of globalisation on language learning and teaching, the Applied Linguistics Association of Australia (ALAA) devoted its 31st Annual Congress to this theme. This volume represents a collection of papers by academics in Australia, South-East Asia, New Zealand, Europe and North America, which synthesize language learning and teaching theories and current research to present the views of applied linguists and language educators on a variety of issues with regards to the tensions that globalisation and internationalisation bring on language and languages. A total of twenty-two articles discuss issues related to the status of the ELT profession in a globalised world, issues of ESL teaching and language assessment, the ever increasing use of ICTs for foreign language learning, and the effects of globalisation on minority languages. This collection of articles attempts to integrate theoretical issues, research findings, and practical applications on different aspects of TESOL to provide academics, researchers, students and language educators with a discussion of the current state of affairs in the field of applied linguistics with regards to globalisation.

Book Description
The data in this publication are based on school responses to the survey conducted in August 2001. They give a comprehensive picture of provision at that time. The information shows the progress made towards achieving the LOTE Strategy Plan targets, and will be the data against which further progress can be measured. Except where specifically noted, all data refer only to Victorian government schools.

Book Description
Foreign language teaching in America today falls into three distinct fields of influence and interest: public and private schools, college and other post-secondary programs, and courses for adult learners. At a time when academics and instructors in each of these fields seek to answer similar questions, too few published resources recognize and address the parallels among them. In response, Foreign Language Education in America is an edited book with contributions that represent the diversity in foreign language education today, including perspectives from elementary, middle schools, high schools, university-level courses, summer programs, federal government, and international learning. This is a practical guide to the state of the field that fills a much-needed gap for scholars, researchers, administrators, and practitioners who are looking for a resource that describes effective practices across the field.

Book Description
Globalization has many faces. One of them is the transformation of language regimes. This book provides an in-depth account of how two second-tier languages, Japanese and German, are affected by this process. In the international arena, they no longer compete with English, but their status in their home countries and as foreign languages in third countries is in flux. Original empirical and theoretical contributions are presented in this up-to-date study of language regime change. The desirability of a single all-purpose language for all communication needs is seldom questioned. It is simply taken for granted in many advanced countries, such as Japan and the German-speaking countries. However, it is not clear whether German and Japanese can sustain their full functional potential if their own speakers use these languages in certain domains with decreasing frequency. The advantages of borderless communication in a single language, on one hand, and maintaining highly cultivated all-purpose languages, on the other, are obvious. The question of whether and how these two principles can be reconciled in the age of globalization is not. In this book, leading scholars present their answers: Ulrich Ammon, Tessa Carroll, Nanette Gottlieb, Patrick Heinrich, Takao Katsuragi, John Maher, Kiyoshi Hara, Elmar Holenstein, Konrad Ehlich, Fumio Inoue, and Florian Coulmas.
