NSW SCHOOLS BECOME BILINGUAL
The NSW Minister for Education and Training, Verity Firth today announced that
four NSW primary schools had been selected to become bilingual in Asian
languages.
Rouse Hill Public School, Murray Farm Public School, Campsie Public School
and Scotts Head Public School have been selected to specialise in Mandarin,
Japanese, Korean and Indonesian.
Ms Firth said the NSW Government was spending $2.25 million over four years
to implement the Bilingual Schools Program which would provide students with
intensive Asian language programs from next year.
“We know that young children have a far better chance of developing bilingual
fluency from an early age.
“Initially, the language will be taught to two classes of students in Kindergarten
and Year 1 and will eventually be expanded to all grades at these schools,” Ms
Firth said.
“By the completion of primary school, these students will have a solid foundation
of the language and it’s expected they will continue their learning into high
school.”
Ms Firth said Asia was a significant region and one of Australia’s most important
trading partners and it made sense to introduce a range of Asian languages into
NSW schools.
“We want to increase the number of students achieving fluency in Asian
languages and this is a good opportunity to further explore the impact of intensive
language programs from an early age.
“The best outcomes from these bilingual schools will be shared with other
schools throughout the state through videoconferencing, workshops and online
learning,” she said.
“The language will be taught for one-and-a-half hours a day by a specialist
teacher with the support of bilingual volunteers and will involve a mix of direct
language lessons and integrated learning through other subjects. |
