The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) has today
made available Australian Curriculum for four languages: Chinese, French,
Indonesian and Italian for Foundation – Year 10 – see http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/languages/preamble.
The curricula for the
four languages are awaiting endorsement from the Education Council (formerly
known as the Standing Council on School Education and Early Childhood), but as
per a decision taken by the Council, the curricula are now available for states
and territories to use in schools in their jurisdictions.
The remaining
languages, including the Framework for Aboriginal Languages and Torres Strait
Islander Languages, Arabic, German, Japanese, Korean, Modern Greek, Spanish and
Vietnamese are currently under development. Funding for the additional
languages – Turkish, Hindi, AUSLAN, and Classical Greek and Latin – has been
provided by the Australian Government.
