The forum provides a platform for the sharing of information and ideas. The goal is to build on local resources and strengths to improve languages education in the ACT region and to better acknowledge and value our multilingual society.
Members of the forum include educators and teachers from early childhood to tertiary level, parents, students, community members, embassy personnel, local politicians, ethnic and community broadcasters, and service providers, particularly those working with Canberra residents from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and new arrivals and refugees.
Anyone with an interest in promoting, teaching or learning languages, including English, is welcome to join the forum discussion.
If you would like to receive occasional updates and information about forum and ACTBEA activities and other language-related news please follow the blog or email languagesact@gmail.com to be added to the email list.
The Forum acknowledges the ongoing support of the Canberra Multicultural Community Forum Inc (CMCF) and the Australian National University. The forum is also grateful to the University of Canberra for hosting its initial meeting in 2007.
