Preface

In 2008, the Victorian government continued its strong commitment to supporting

and extending the teaching of languages other than English (LOTE) in Victorian

schools. The data in this publication is based on schools’ responses to a web-

based LOTE survey conducted between August and October 2008. The data

provides a comprehensive picture of the provision of language education at that

time in Victoria.

The provision of languages education is a matter of careful planning and

coordination between the various LOTE providers including mainstream

government 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. LOTE programs conducted outside

regular school hours by community languages schools have not been analysed in

this report.

Twenty-two languages were taught in government primary schools in 2008, 17 in

secondary colleges and 47 through the VSL. In government primary and

secondary colleges, a total of 316,035 students studied a language, with a further

16,097 primary and secondary students enrolled in the VSL. The Distance

Education Section of the VSL provided courses in ten languages, which were

accessed by 19.6% of secondary college students studying at the VSL.

Italian, Indonesian, Japanese, French, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Auslan and

Greek were the most widely taught languages across all government schools.

However, at the VSL, community languages were of greater significance. The

eight most widely studied languages at the VSL were Chinese (Mandarin),

Vietnamese, Turkish, Greek, Japanese, French, Arabic and Italian. With 50

languages accessible through government schools and the VSL, the Department

of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) hopes to maintain a

breadth of high quality programs and languages offerings in Victoria.

Trends in Languages Other Than English

The following trend analysis reviews LOTE study at the primary and secondary levels

in Victoria over the last six years. It provides an informative overview of the current

state of language study and highlights the differing patterns of language study at the

primary and secondary levels.

Primary LOTE Programs

There has been a continual decline in the number of government primary schools

offering language programs over the last six years (Figure 1.1), along with a

concomitant decline in student enrolments. The number of schools offering a LOTE

decreased 15.1% between 2005 and 2008. This decline has been consistent at all year

levels, with the number of schools offering a program at each year level decreasing

between 20% and 24% between 2002 and 2008 (Figure 3.1).

Concurrently, the number of primary school students studying a LOTE between 2002

and 2008 has also declined from 86.0% to 70.7% of students (Figure 3.3). In student

numbers, this represents a 20.1% decrease in student enrolments, from 269,996

enrolments in 2002 to 215,739 enrolments in 2008.

The number of schools offering each language has fluctuated between 2002 and

2008, with some languages faring better than others. As can be seen in Figure 1.2,

the number of schools offering Indonesian and Italian has continued to decrease

over the last several years. On the other hand, the number of schools offering

French, Chinese (Mandarin) and Auslan has continued to grow over time.

Offerings of Japanese, German and Greek have remained stable in recent years.

Figure 1.2 Number of primary schools offering the eight most widely studied languages, 2002 – 2008.

An interesting reversal in change can be seen in relation to program type

beginning in 2007. Ideally students study a language through a LOTE program,

which focuses on the acquisition of language. Until 2007, there had been an

increasing movement towards the study of language in language and cultural

awareness programs. In these programs, students are introduced to some

vocabulary and aspects of society, language and culture. However, in 2007, this

trend was reversed quite dramatically. This reversal continued in 2008, with a

majority of primary level students, 61.7%, studying in a LOTE program, up from

45.1% in 2006 (Figure 3.9).

While this focus on language acquisition is a positive outcome, an ongoing issue

for the quality of LOTE programs rests in the amount of time that schools are

willing to provide for LOTE study. The DEECD Curriculum Planning Guidelines

recommend that students receive 150 minutes of LOTE study per week. However

in 2008, only 1.2% of primary LOTE programs ran for 150 minutes or more per

week (Figure 3.7).

Secondary LOTE Programs

LOTE provision at the secondary level has remained relatively stable over the last

four years, although the percentage of secondary colleges offering LOTE

programs has not returned to the 2004 high of 96.4% (Figure 1.3).

Figure 1.3 Number and percentage of secondary colleges providing a LOTE program, 2002 – 2008.

Enrolments in secondary LOTE programs have fluctuated over the last six years,

but continue to decrease slightly each year, from a high of 50.5% of students in

2002 to 43.3% in 2008. The largest decrease in enrolments for a number of years

has been at the Year 9 and 10 levels. At the Year 9 level, between 2002 and 2008,

the percentage of students studying a language has declined from 56.8% to 42.7%

and at the Year 10 level, from 28.9% to 17.1% (Figure 4.4).

However, the number of government school students who complete a language by

the time they graduate from secondary college has increased substantially over

the same time period. This has been due to a number of variables, including the

flexible nature of the Victorian curriculum, which allows students to undertake

and complete language courses prior to enrolling in Year 12, the availability of

language study outside of school through the VSL and Distance Education, as

well as the availability of language study through after-hours ethnic schools. As a

result, amongst the students who were eligible to graduate from secondary college

in 2008, 17.6% had finished a language course.

Another positive indicator for language study has been the slow but steady

increase in the percentage of males studying a language through to the Year 12

level. While a roughly equal number of males and females study languages at

Years 7 and 8, the number of males studying languages drops dramatically from

Year 9 onwards, with students who continue language study through to Year 12

being predominantly female. However, the percentage of males enrolled in Year

12 who study a language has increased from 30.0% in 2002 to 36.7% in 2008.

When looking at enrolment changes for specific languages, the six most widely

studied languages in government secondary colleges have all experienced rising

and falling enrolments between 2002 and 2008, with Indonesian and Italian

experiencing a sustained decline (Figure 4.7). French and Japanese have now

replaced Italian and Indonesian as the two most widely studied languages. The six

most widely studied languages were French, Japanese, Italian, Indonesian,

German and Chinese (Mandarin).

The nature of language programs that students experience at the secondary level

continues to move in a positive direction every year. LOTE programs that focus

on the target language, rather than on a general language and cultural experience,

continue to form a majority of programs, up from 83.2% in 2002 to 97.9% in

2008. Only 2.0% of programs in secondary colleges are language awareness

programs (Table 4.9).

Table 1.1 following provides a summary of enrolments in government schools

and colleges, including all enrolments at the VSL (including distance education),

for 2008. At the secondary level, students studying more than one language

through taster programs are counted for each language they are enrolled in.

Section 2: Summary of Findings

Primary Schools

Schools

Nine hundred and forty seven (947) government primary schools

provided some form of LOTE program in 2008, 75.5% of the total of

1,254 primary schools1. Across all schools, language study is most

commonly offered at Year 5 (72.6%) and Year 6 (72.7%).

Students

A total of 215,739 primary students studied a language in 2008. This

represents 70.7% of government primary school students, a decrease of

4.2% in student numbers since 2007. LOTE provision was lowest at the

Prep level, where 60.5% of students studied a language, while the

highest concentration of students studying LOTE was at Year 5, 78.3%.

Languages Taught

A total of 22 languages were offered in government primary schools in

2008 (excluding VSL languages). There were a number of changes in

languages offered between 2007 and 2008. Somali was no longer

offered in schools, while Afrikaans, Hindi, Karen, Khmer and Maori,

which were not offered in 2007, were studied by students in 2008.

Italian was the most widely studied language across schools, (246 or

26.0% of schools offered Italian), followed by Indonesian (225 schools,

23.8%), Japanese (199 schools, 21.0%), French (113 schools, 11.9%),

German (85 schools, 9.0%), Chinese (Mandarin) (50 schools, 5.3%) and

Auslan (38 schools, 4.0%).

Notable increases in student enrolments occurred in Auslan (7,070 to

7,469) and Chinese (Mandarin) (9,163 to 10,113), with enrolments in

Italian (66,948 to 60,703) and Indonesian (51,141 to 48,076) declining.

Contact Time

The time spent by primary students on language learning varied

considerably according to the type of program and the resources

available to schools. Contact time ranged from 10 minutes to 7.5 hours

per week, with an average of 57.5 minutes per week. Only 1.2% of

LOTE programs provided a minimum of 150 minutes of LOTE teaching

per week, the recommended contact time in Curriculum Planning

Guidelines (DEECD).

Program Type

1 All schools with primary and secondary enrolments, except special schools and English

language schools are included in this survey. Multi-campus schools are regarded as one school.

Schools offering both primary and secondary levels are included in primary and secondary

analyses as appropriate.

Summary: Primary

__________________________________________________________________________

26

A majority of primary school students, 61.7%, studied a language through

LOTE programs which focused chiefly on language acquisition. Students

in language and cultural awareness programs, which focus chiefly on

culture, accounted for 37.5% of primary school students, with a further

0.7% of students studying LOTE in bilingual programs.

The most common method of teacher provision for LOTE programs was

through LOTE staff allocations within schools (93.5%), followed by

externally employed/funded LOTE teachers (3.7%), the Bilingual Schools

Project initiative (1.1%) and ICT assisted teaching (1.7%).

Target Groups

The vast majority of students, 91.0%, were in classes primarily targeting

second language learners. Mixed classes, which incorporate students

with and without a background in the target language, increased slightly

to 8.2% in 2008, while students in first language classes represented

0.8% of primary school students.

Regional Provision of LOTE

The Eastern Metropolitan Region had the highest level of LOTE

provision at the primary level with 94.2% of schools offering LOTE

programs. Provision of LOTE programs fell across the board in the other

eight educational regions, with the most notable decline occurring in the

Gippsland Region (-13.3%).

ICT

The number of primary schools studying a language through ICT stood

at 3,595. ICT was used to deliver programs in Auslan, Chinese

(Mandarin), French, German, Indonesian, Italian and Indigenous

languages.

Summary: Secondary

Secondary Colleges

Colleges

In 2008, 273 or 89.2% of the 306 secondary colleges provided language

programs at one or more levels.

Of the colleges providing a LOTE course, 49.8% provided a continuous

language sequence from Year 7 to Year 12. A further 12.8% provided a

LOTE continuously from Year 7 to Year 10.

Students

A total of 96,686 students were studying a LOTE in government

secondary colleges in 2008, representing 43.3% of full-time students at

Victorian government colleges. A further 3,610 student enrolments were

recorded for students studying a second language (for example, through

taster programs), bringing the total number of student enrolments to

100,296.

Enrolment figures increased slightly at the Years 7 and 8 levels and

were relatively stable at the other year levels, except at the Year 9 level

where enrolments decreased by 5.7%.

Among the students eligible to graduate from VCE in 2008, 17.6% had

completed a language program during their schooling.

Languages Taught

Seventeen languages were taught in secondary colleges in 2008. The

languages with highest enrolments varied between 2007 and 2008, with

Italian and Indonesian moving down the list of the eight most widely

studied languages. The eight most widely studied languages were

French, Japanese, Italian, Indonesian, German, Chinese (Mandarin),

Spanish and Greek.

Male / Female Enrolments

In 2008, male students of LOTE slightly outnumbered female students

in Years 7 and 8, but by Year 12, females accounted for 63.3% of LOTE

students. There was a significant decrease increase in both male (4.1%)

and female (7.1%) enrolments at the Year 9 level.

Females were most prominent in Arabic (69.3% of enrolments), while

males slightly outnumbered females in a number of languages, most

notably in Khmer, Turkish and Vietnamese.

Program Type

Ninety seven point nine percent (97.9%) of secondary programs were

LOTE programs focusing specifically on the target language, while

language and cultural awareness programs accounted for 2.0% of

programs. The percentage of programs classified as bilingual programs

declined from 3.0% to 0.01% in 2008.

Summary: Secondary

Contact Time

The average weekly contact time for LOTE programs remained similar

to 2007 levels, with Year 7 students studying LOTE for 141.4 minutes

per week and Year 12 students studying LOTE for 233.8 minutes per

week.

In 2008, 64.5% of Year 7 LOTE students and 66.4% of Year 8 LOTE

students were in programs that ran for a minimum of 144 minutes per

week. At Years 11 and 12, 93.8% and 98.1% of LOTE students,

respectively, studied for a minimum of 200 minutes per week.


In 2008, 46.4% of students in metropolitan areas studied a LOTE, while

the percentage in regional areas was 37.0%. The greatest disparity

between metropolitan and regional provision of LOTE occurred at the

Year 9 level where 52.1% of metropolitan students and 23.8% of

regional students undertook a LOTE. By the Year l2 level, this disparity

had decreased to 9.1% of metropolitan students and 6.2% of regional

students.

Indonesian was the most widely studied LOTE in the regional areas,

with 35.0% of regional students studying this LOTE. Conversely,

enrolments in metropolitan regions were spread over more languages,

with Italian the most popular LOTE, with 23.0% of enrolments.

The Eastern Metropolitan Region had the highest number of students

studying a LOTE at 50.4%, while the lowest level of uptake was in the

Gippsland Region where 32.3% of students studied a LOTE.

ICT

Twelve students from four colleges studied French, German and

Japanese through ICT in 2008.

Summary: Teachers

______________________________________________________________________

29

Teachers of LOTE

There were 1,779 LOTE teachers with some level of LOTE qualification

teaching in primary schools and secondary colleges in 2008.

Approximately 300 non-LOTE qualified teachers were also assisting in

or providing LOTE programs for students. A further 280 (approx.)

LOTE qualified teachers were working in primary schools and

secondary colleges in 2008 in areas other than LOTE teaching or were

on leave.

Teachers of Asian languages represented 45.4% of LOTE teachers, with

European language teachers accounting for 52.2% of teachers. Teachers

of Italian compromised the largest group of teachers at 21.0%, while

teachers of Indonesian accounted for 20.9% of LOTE teachers.

Eighty one point five per cent (81.5%) of LOTE teachers in 2008 were

female. Males represented a slightly higher percentage of teachers of

Asian languages (20.2%) than of European languages (17.1%).

Amongst LOTE teachers, 57.0% were fully qualified with a three year

post-VCE tertiary major and LOTE methodology training, a four year

beginners’ tertiary sequence and LOTE methodology training, or LOTE

accreditation. Overall, 67.0% of LOTE teachers had undertaken a LOTE

methodology.

Seventy point nine (70.9%) of secondary LOTE teachers were employed

full time, with only 42.5% of primary LOTE teachers employed full

time. However, the average time spent teaching LOTE each week was

not substantially different: 10.8 hours per week at the primary level and

11.5 hours per week at the secondary level.

Summary: VSL

Victorian School of Languages

Victorian School of Languages (VSL) (Primary)

In 2008, students studied 47 languages across 40 centres (10 in regional

areas). Students were provided with approximately three hours per week

of LOTE instruction, mainly on Saturday mornings. Additional

languages offered in 2008 included Auslan, Dinka, Pushto, Romanian

and Somali.

In 2008, 16,097 students from government, Catholic and independent

schools and colleges, as well as home-schooled students studied through

the VSL, an increase of 11.5% from 2007 figures. Enrolments totalled

6,914 at the primary level and 9,183 at the secondary level. These

figures include enrolments through distance education.

In 2008, government students accounted for approximately 65% of

enrolments at the VSL, with students from Catholic and independent

schools and home-schooled students accounting for the remaining 35%

of enrolments.

VSL Distance Education Section

The Distance Education Section of the VSL offered programs in Arabic,

Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian,

Japanese, Latin and Spanish in 2008.

There were 1,822 students enrolled in the Distance Education Section,

from all educational sectors, in 2008 (19.6% of secondary level

enrolments). Distance Education enrolments also included 133 students

studying a Vocational Education and Training (VET) language course.

Section 3: Primary Schools

Schools

In 2008, 1,254 government schools offered primary level education in Victoria, with

947 or 75.5% of these schools providing some form of LOTE program. This figure

represents a decrease of 25 schools in comparison to the previous year (Table 3.1). The

number of students studying a LOTE in 2008 decreased 4.2% from 2007 figures, with

enrolments decreasing 18.9% since 2002 (Table 3.3). Of the 307 primary schools

without LOTE programs, the majority stated that they had been unable to attract

qualified LOTE staff or to sufficiently fund a LOTE program.

While there are 947 primary schools offering LOTE programs, language study is not

necessarily offered at all year levels within each of these schools. As can be seen in

Figure 3.1, the highest offerings of languages are at the senior primary levels, from

Years 3 to 6, although there has been a decline across these year levels of around 3%

from 2007 figures. Provision of languages is lower at the Prep to Year 2 levels,

although a majority of primary schools continue to offer a language program at these

levels. There has also been a decline across the Prep to Year 3 levels of around 3%

from 2007 figures.

Table 3.1 Number and percentage of primary schools with LOTE programs by

Note that the figures above do not correlate to the overall percentage of primary schools

offering LOTE. For example, in 2004, 86.9% of primary schools offered LOTE

programs, while the percentages above range from 77% to 84%. This is due to schools

not offering LOTE at all levels, so while 86.9% of schools offered a LOTE, only 84%

offered LOTE at the Year 6 level.

The percentage of all government primary schools providing a continuous LOTE

sequence from Prep to Year 6 decreased from 60.4% in 2007 to 56.0% in 2008.

Amongst the schools offering LOTE, 74.1% ran continuous LOTE programs from Prep

to Year 6, with 6.3% of schools running programs from Years 3 to 6 (Figure 3.2).

Figure 3.2 Sequences of LOTE programs in primary schools, 2008. ‘Other’ refers to various non-sequential or partial sequences.

Government primary schools offered 22 languages in 2008. Five languages not offered

in 2007 were offered in 2008 – Afrikaans, Hindi, Karen, Khmer and Maori. Somali,

which was offered in 2007, was not offered in 2008. Individual Indigenous languages

have been subsumed under the category of ‘Indigenous languages’ in the 2008 report.

Both Italian and Indonesian remain the most widely studied languages but both

continued to experience a notable decrease in the number of schools offering these

languages, a 6.1% and 10.0% drop respectively. On the other hand, the number of

schools offering French and Chinese (Mandarin) increased significantly, 16.5% and

13.6% respectively. The number of schools offering the remaining languages stayed

stable, although Somali was no longer offered (Table 3.2).

Students

The number of primary LOTE enrolments stood at 215,739 students in 2008.

Numerically this is a reduction of 9,575 students from 2007. As a percentage of the

total student population, it represents a decline from 73.6% in 2007 to 70.7% in 2008,

with participation rates decreasing slightly across all year levels. Comparative numbers

and percentages for 2002 to 2008 are presented in Table 3.3 and Figure 3.3, while

Languages Taught

Twenty-two languages were taught in government primary schools in 2008, while

primary school students also studied 44 languages through the VSL (including via

distance education at the Year 6 level). Overall, primary school students studied a total

of 48 languages through schools and the VSL in 2008.

In primary schools, Italian continued to be the language with the highest number of

student enrolments (60,703 enrolments). Indonesian (48,076) and Japanese (45,395)

followed, with these three languages accounting for 71.5% of all primary LOTE

enrolments in government schools. The other languages taught in primary schools, in

numerical order, were French, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Auslan, Greek, Spanish,

Vietnamese, Indigenous Languages, Arabic, Turkish, Khmer, Korean, Maori,

Macedonian, Hindi, Afrikaans, Karen, Dutch and Polish. Table 3.4 provides details of

student enrolments by language and year level, while Figure 3.6 provides a proportional

representation of language enrolments.

There were a number of changes in the languages offered in 2008. Afrikaans, Hindi,

Karen, Khmer and Maori were offered in 2008 but had not been offered in 2007.

Somali, which was offered in 2007, was not offered in 2008.

Between 2007 and 2008, fluctuations in enrolments occurred for a small number of

languages. Notable increases occurred for Auslan (7,070 to 7,469) and Chinese

(Mandarin) (9,163 to 10,113). Significant decreases occurred for some of the larger

languages, particularly for Italian (66,948 to 60,703) and Indonesian (51,141 to

48,076).

Figure 3.5 outlines the changes in enrolments for the six most studied languages

between 2002 and 2008. The most noticeable trend is the continuing decline in

enrolments for Indonesian and Italian, with enrolments in Japanese and German also

declining at a lesser rate. Enrolments in Chinese (Mandarin) and French have remained

relatively stable.

The time spent by primary students on language learning in 2008 ranged from 10

minutes to 7.5 hours per week, with an average of 57.5 minutes per week (excluding

the bilingual programs, which are discussed in the Bilingual Program section). The

largest proportion of programs, 76.4%, ran for between 31 and 60 minutes per week,

while only 1.2% of programs ran for the recommended minimum of 150 minutes per

week (Figure 3.7). Figure 3.8 details the average contact time per week between 2002

Program Types

Individual programs within schools were divided into three types. The first type is a

LOTE program, which focuses on the teaching and learning of the target language. The

second type of program is a bilingual program, which requires the curriculum to be

taught in the target language for a minimum of 450 minutes per week. The third type of

program, a language and cultural awareness program, includes a limited introduction

of vocabulary and a greater focus on teaching aspects of society and culture. The aims

of the programs and the teaching methods used differ accordingly.

In 2008, 61.7% of students studied a language through LOTE programs, with a further

37.5% of students studying a language through language and cultural awareness

programs. Prior to 2007, the majority of programs were language and cultural

awareness programs, but this trend seems to have been reversed in the past two years

(Figure 3.9). The remaining 0.7% of students were enrolled in bilingual programs.

Figure 3.9 Primary LOTE enrolments by program type, 2002 – 2008.

The percentage of students studying through language and cultural awareness

programs or through LOTE programs differed significantly according to the language

being studied. Many of the smaller languages were only taught as LOTE programs,

such as Dutch, Hindi, Khmer, Korean and Polish. Amongst the languages of larger

candidature, French (71.2%) and German (72.3%) were taught predominantly in LOTE

programs (Table 3.5).

There were four methods of staff provision for primary LOTE classes: through LOTE

staff allocations within schools; through externally funded or employed LOTE staff;

through ICT or through the Bilingual Schools Project initiative. LOTE staff allocations

within schools covered 93.5% of students receiving LOTE programs, with the

remaining 6.5% of enrolments covered by externally employed/funded LOTE teachers

(3.7%), allocations through the Bilingual Schools Project initiative (1.1%) and through

the use of ICT (1.7%). See Table 3.6 for further details.

Target Groups

An essential consideration in the planning of any LOTE program is the composition of

the target group of students. Schools were asked whether their programs were targeted

at first language learners (where most of the students had a background in the target

language), second language learners (where most of the students did not have a

background in the target language), or mixed classes (where some students had a

background in the target language while others did not).

Nearly all primary school students, 91.0%, were in programs targeted towards second

language learners, with 8.2% of students participating in mixed classes and 0.8% of

students in first language classes. The largest enrolments for first language classes were

in Chinese (Mandarin) and Greek. See Table 3.7 below.

Overall, 75.5% of primary schools offered some form of LOTE program in 2008. The

Eastern Metropolitan Region had the highest percentage of primary schools providing

LOTE at 94.2%, while the Gippsland Region had the lowest level of provision at 51.6%

of schools. The number of schools offering language programs increased in Barwon

South-Western, Grampians, Eastern Metropolitan and Southern Metropolitan Regions,

with the most notable reduction occurring in the Gippsland Region where the

percentage of schools offering languages decreased from 60.0% in 2007 to 51.6% in

2008. A comparison between provision in all educational regions between 2006 and

2008 is provided in Figure 3.10 and Table 3.8.

When examining languages according to region, Japanese had the highest recorded

student enrolments in four regions – the Grampians, Hume, Gippsland and Eastern

Metropolitan Regions. In the Barwon South Western, Loddon Mallee and Southern

Metropolitan Regions enrolments were highest in Indonesian, while Italian had the

highest student enrolments in the Western and Northern Metropolitan Regions.

Language study was concentrated in some regions. In the Loddon Mallee Region, for

example, 59.2% of all primary school students studying a LOTE were studying

Indonesian, while 62.3% of enrolments were in Italian in the Northern Metropolitan

Region. See Table 3.9 for further details.

ICT

As indicated in Figure 3.11 below, enrolments in courses provided through ICT have

varied considerably since 2002. These initiatives involve the provision of LOTE classes

through visual and audio links such as the internet, video/DVDs, computers, satellite

conferencing and telephone. In 2008, the number of students studying a LOTE through

ICT provision increased by over 3,000 students from 2007 enrolments. ICT provision

was used to run classes in Auslan, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Indonesian,

Italian and Indigenous Languages.

Colleges

In 2008, the number of secondary colleges offering language programs increased by one

school to 273 colleges. This represents 89.2% of the 306 colleges teaching secondary

level classes. Of the colleges that offered language programs, provision was highest at

the lower secondary level, with students studying languages at the Year 7 level in 96.3%

of these colleges. By the Year 12 level, language provision had decreased to 59.0% of

colleges.

Figure 4.1 Percentage of secondary colleges providing LOTE by year level, 2002 - 2008.

Amongst colleges that offered LOTE programs in 2008, 49.8% provided

continuous programs from Years 7 to 12. Note that around 6.5% of secondary

colleges do not offer classes from Years 7 to 12. For example, they are senior

secondary colleges or Years 7 to 10 colleges (see Figure 4.2).

Figure 4.2 Sequences of LOTE programs in secondary colleges, 2007 – 2008. ‘Other sequences’ refers to the provision of LOTE programs at non-

sequential year levels or partial sequences.

In 2008, Indonesian was the only language that sustained a notable decline (-9.0%) in

the number of colleges offering the language, down to 100 colleges. However, it

remains the most widely studied language in Victorian secondary colleges. French,

Italian, German and Chinese (Mandarin) all had slight increases in the number of

colleges offering these languages, while Italian and Greek had slight decreases. These

changes should be considered within the normal variations in offerings. All other

language offerings remained stable in 2008, except for Korean, which was not offered at

any secondary colleges for the first time (Table 4.1).

The number of colleges running compulsory LOTE programs increased slightly at the

Year 7 to 10 levels (Figure 4.3). Some further detail is available in Table 4.2.

Students

In 2008, 43.3% or 96,686 students studied a LOTE in government secondary colleges.

A further 3,610 enrolments represented students who studied more than one language

through taster programs, bringing the total number of language enrolments to 100,296.

The number of students studying a language in 2008 represents a 2.7% decrease from

2007 figures. Participation increased at Years 7 and 8, but declined slightly at the other

year levels. The greatest decrease, -5.7%, was at the Year 9 level, representing a

continuing decline in language study at the middle school level (see Figure 4.4). Further

detail is presented in Table 4.3.

Figure 4.5 contains a trend line of enrolments in languages at the secondary level and

shows that enrolments have decreased from 50.5% of secondary students in 2002 to

43.3% of secondary students in 2008.

Note that in Table 4.3, students are only counted once. The overall figure of 100,296

enrolments includes 3,610 students studying more than one language, such as taster

courses. Also, the Year 12 enrolments counts students enrolled in Year 12, but not

students who completed their language studies prior to enrolling in Year 12. See the

LOTE Study at the VCE Level section for further details.

Sixteen colleges offered taster courses where, for example, students studied two

languages for twenty weeks per year. In Figure 4.4, these students were counted only

once to provide an accurate representation of the overall number of students studying a

language. Unless noted otherwise, all other tables and figures in this report contain

information on the number of LOTE enrolments. This involves the double counting of

students in taster programs.

Languages Taught

Seventeen languages were taught in secondary colleges in 2008, with secondary college

students also studying 47 languages through the VSL (including via distance

education). Overall, students at secondary colleges studied a total of 49 languages

through colleges or the VSL in 2008.

There were a number of changes in the eight most widely studied languages in colleges

in 2008. With notable decreases in enrolments for Italian (-13.9%) and Indonesian (-

8.5%), French and Japanese became the two most widely studied languages in 2008,

with Italian and Indonesian at number three and four respectively (Table 4.4). German,

Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, Greek, Vietnamese and Auslan rounded out the ten most

widely studied languages in 2008 (Table 4.4).

Figure 4.6 provides a proportional representation of all LOTE enrolments in

government secondary colleges in 2008, while Figure 4.7 provides a trend analysis of

enrolments in the eight most widely studied languages. As can be seen in Figure 4.7,

enrolments in Indonesian continue to decline, while enrolments in Italian have declined

after a sustained period of stability. By contrast, French and Japanese have maintained

their popularity and are now the two most studied languages at the secondary level.

Indonesian, Italian and Japanese are the most popular languages at the Year 7 level, but

by Year 12, proportional enrolments in Italian and Indonesian have decreased

significantly. This is countered by a dramatic increase in enrolments in Chinese

(Mandarin). German and Greek both maintained a similar proportion of enrolments

Male / Female Enrolments

Equivalent numbers of males and females undertook LOTE programs at the Year 7 and

8 levels in 2008 due to the predominantly compulsory nature of LOTE study at these

levels. The most notable change in enrolments for 2008 was a continuing decline in

enrolments at the Year 9 level, -4.1% for males and -7.1% for females.

While the gender division of enrolments was similar at Years 7 and 8, by Year 12,

63.3% of students of languages were female (Figure 4.8). Table 4.6 provides a

breakdown of gender by language.

The overall proportion of LOTE secondary students was 51.0% female and 49.0% male.

LOTE Study at the VCE Level

Enrolment figures in Table 4.4 refer to students who are studying languages at each

year level; however, the flexible nature of the Victorian curriculum results in many

students completing a language course before they enrol in Year 12. While Table 4.4

indicates that 2,536 students are studying a language in Year 12, it is important to note

that over 2,000 students completed a language course prior to this time.

Similarly, although Figure 4.4 (above) indicates that only around 8% of Years 11 and

12 students were enrolled in a language course, this figure rises considerably once we

consider government college students who completed a language (Unit 4) at an earlier

year level or through the VSL (including via distance education). Amongst students

from government colleges, who were eligible to graduate in 2008, 17.6% had

completed a language course. (This data was provided by the Victorian Curriculum and

Assessment Authority.)

The following information in Table 4.8 is based on enrolments at the Year 11 and 12

levels (the same as Table 4.3), not on the VCAA data above, which counts Unit 4

enrolments. As can be seen from the table, the VSL continues to play an important role

in language provision at the senior secondary level.

Table 4.8 Year 11 and 12 enrolments at secondary colleges and the VSL, 2006 –

2008.

Note that the figures for VSL enrolments include all students enrolled at the VSL

regardless of the day school they attend (Catholic, government or independent). They

also include enrolments through distance education.

Regional differences

Overall, 9.0% and 9.1% of students enrolled in Years 11 and 12 in metropolitan areas

studied a LOTE in 2008, while in regional areas, 6.8% and 6.2% of students enrolled in

Years 11 and 12 were studying a LOTE in 2008 (Figure 4.9). However, it is important

to bear in mind the caveats mentioned in this section, with enrolments at the senior

secondary levels likely to be slightly higher in both regional and metropolitan areas

than the figures above indicate.

Contact Time

The average contact time for LOTE programs remained relatively constant in 2008,

although the small changes that can be seen in Figure 4.10 are predominantly due to the

exclusion of data from designated bilingual schools in this section of the report. As

students in bilingual programs spend over 450 minutes per week studying languages or

in a language, the inclusion of these programs can skew the data. Information on these

bilingual programs has been excluded from the following analysis of contact time, but

can be found in Section 6: Bilingual Programs in Victorian Government Schools.

Contact time varied for each language and at each year level. At the Year 7 level,

average times for LOTE programs ranged from 129.5 minutes per week for Macedonian

to 175 minutes per week for Auslan. At the Year 12 level, programs ranged from 211

minutes per week for Khmer to 250 minutes for Auslan.

The time allocated to LOTE also varied from college to college. In 2008, 64.5% of Year

7 LOTE students (down from 70.3% in 2007) and 66.4% of Year 8 LOTE students

(down from 68.6% in 2007) were in programs that ran for a minimum of 144 minutes

per week (the recommended minimum is 150 minutes per week, although many school

timetables produce 144 minute allotments per week).

Program Types

The range of LOTE programs provided and the teaching methods used in secondary

colleges varied according to student needs and available resources. Colleges were asked

to classify their programs as a LOTE program, which focuses on the teaching and

learning of the target language; a bilingual program, which requires the curriculum to

be taught in the target language for a minimum of 450 minutes per week, or a language

and cultural awareness program, where a limited vocabulary and aspects of culture and

society are introduced.

The percentage of students enrolled in LOTE programs increased slightly from 96.9%

to 97.9%, while enrolments in language and cultural awareness programs fell slightly

from 3.0% to 2.0%. The remaining 0.01% of students were enrolled in bilingual

programs (Table 4.9 and Figure 4.11). For information on the bilingual program at

Westall Secondary College, refer to Section 6: Bilingual Programs in Victorian

Government Schools.

Target Groups

Colleges provided programs targeted at three different groups of students: first

language learners (where most of the students had a background in the target language),

second language learners (where most of the students did not have a background in the

target language) or mixed classes (where some students had a background in the target

language , while others did not).

In 2008, the vast majority of students, 95.8%, were in LOTE classes targeted at second

language learners. Enrolments in mixed classes decreased slightly to 3.5% (from 5.0%

in 2007), with Chinese (Mandarin) and Italian the languages with the highest proportion

of mixed classes. First language classes only represented 0.7% of all LOTE programs

(Table 4.10). For information on the bilingual program at Westall Secondary College,

refer to Section 6: Bilingual Programs in Victorian Government Schools.

In 2008, the percentage of students studying a LOTE in metropolitan areas was higher

than regional LOTE enrolments at all year levels. The gap between metropolitan and

regional students increased from Year 8, with a particularly large decrease in

enrolments at the Year 9 level in regional colleges, where approximately twice as many

students in metropolitan areas studied a language (Figure 4.12. Further details are

available in Table 4.11). Overall, 46.4% of students studied a LOTE in metropolitan

areas, while the percentage of students in regional areas studying a LOTE stood at

37.0% in 2008.

Section 5: LOTE Teachers in Victorian Government Schools and Colleges

In 2008, there were 1,779 teachers teaching in Victorian primary schools and

secondary colleges, who had some level of LOTE qualification. As can be seen in

Figure 5.1, the number of LOTE teachers at the secondary level has remained

relatively constant due to the stability of secondary level LOTE programs. Over

time, the number of LOTE teachers employed at the primary level has decreased in

line with declining program numbers, although there was a slight increase in the

number of teachers employed at the primary level between 2007 and 2008.

In 2008, 7.6% of LOTE teachers played multiple roles, teaching in more than one

school or college, or at more than one level. For example,

29 teachers taught the same language at two primary schools

11 teachers taught more than one language at the one school/college

82 teachers taught one or more languages at both the primary and secondary levels

12 teachers taught the same language at three different schools/colleges

1 teacher taught the same language at four different schools.

Also, there were over 300 teachers teaching or assisting in LOTE programs who did

not have recognised LOTE qualifications, although many of these teachers were

undertaking language studies and/or LOTE methodology training in 2008. In some

instances, all classroom teachers in some primary schools incorporated language

teaching into the general curriculum with the support of a qualified LOTE teacher.

There were also approximately 280 qualified teachers of LOTE in primary schools

and secondary colleges who were not teaching a LOTE in 2008. These teachers

taught other subjects, assumed other roles within schools or were on leave.

Teachers of Asian languages represented 45.4% of LOTE teachers, European

language teachers accounted for 52.2% of teachers, while teachers of Afrikaans,

Arabic, Auslan Indigenous languages, Maori and Turkish made up the remaining

2.4% of LOTE teachers. Indonesian teachers represented the highest percentage of

teachers of an Asian language at 20.9% of all LOTE teachers, while Italian teachers

represented the highest percentage of teachers of European languages at 21.0% of

all LOTE teachers.

The percentage of LOTE teachers who were male stood at 18.5% in 2008. Amongst

teachers of Asian languages, 20.2% were male, while 17.1% of teachers of

European languages were male. Japanese was the language with the highest

percentage of male teachers, 23.3%, while there were no male teachers for a number

of the smaller languages, namely Afrikaans, Khmer, Kirrae Wurrung, Maori and

Spanish (Figures 5.2 and 5.3. Further details are available in Table 5.1).

Numerically, there were 1,449 female LOTE teachers and 330 male teachers in

schools and colleges.

Amongst LOTE teachers represented in Figure 5.4, 57.0% were fully qualified,

having completed:

A three year post-VCE major sequence or a four year beginners

sequence at the tertiary level in the language they were teaching (or

have received a statement of equivalence from a Victorian university),

as well as an approved LOTE teaching methodology, including theory

and practicum; or completed

A two year post-VCE sequence or a three year beginner’s tertiary

language sequence (These were acceptable secondary LOTE teaching

qualifications for teachers entering the profession up to the beginning

of 1996. Such teachers deemed to be qualified provided they have had

continuing employment with DEECD since that time).

The remaining teachers had varying degrees of qualifications, from a two-year post-

VCE tertiary level course, down to TAFE or CAE level courses (Figure 5.4).

Overall, 67.0% of LOTE teachers had undertaken some LOTE methodology

training (theory) at the tertiary level, regardless of the level of qualifications they

held in the language they taught.

Figure 5.5 provides a comparison of the number of hours LOTE teachers spend

teaching LOTE each week. Among teachers at the primary level, approximately half

of them taught for less than 10 hours per week, while at the secondary level,

approximately half of teachers taught for 10 to 20 hours per week. This difference is

also reflected in the employment load of teachers. At the primary level, only 42.5%

of LOTE teachers are employed full time, in comparison to the secondary level,

where 70.9% of teachers are employed full time. However, the average time

teaching LOTE per week was not substantially different at the primary and

secondary levels, with LOTE teachers teaching an average of 10.8 hours per week,

while their secondary counterparts taught an average of 11.5 hours per week.

Section 6: Bilingual Programs in Victorian Government Schools

Out of all Victorian government schools, one special school, eleven primary schools and

one secondary college offered designated bilingual programs in 2008 (Table 6.1).

Bilingual programs provide students with the opportunity to learn curriculum content in,

and through, both English and another language. In addition to the LOTE curriculum,

content-based teaching takes place in two or more of the domains within the Discipline-

based Learning Strand of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards. Schools may

choose from Science, Mathematics, The Arts and The Humanities. Within these

domains, bilingual classes are run for subject areas such as ICT, cultural studies, visual

arts, performing arts, health, sport and physical education, civics and citizenship,

economics, geography, history and the study of society and environment (see Table

6.1). Students are taught in or through the LOTE for between 360 and 750 minutes per

week, with an average of 501.5 minutes. Additionally, other activities at these schools

may also be run in the LOTE such as library time, school assemblies, camps and

excursions.

Teachers in the designated bilingual schools are highly qualified and often supported by

teaching aides, assistants offered directly to schools by overseas governments or

volunteers from the community. As well as their teaching duties at schools, teachers

also share their knowledge at a local, national and international level. Within local

clusters of schools, for example, they may provide activities for other schools to use in

their LOTE classes. Teachers also provide training and support for student teachers and

also host teachers from overseas, modelling effective teaching and learning strategies

for use in their home countries. Many schools and teachers also work with university

researchers around Australia to research into teaching methodology, student outcomes

and the benefits of bilingual education.

Once students near the end of their primary schooling, teachers and schools work with

secondary colleges in their areas to provide the maximum opportunity for students to

continue with their language studies at an appropriate level. This includes developing

student portfolios so that secondary college staff are aware of each student’s linguistic

achievements and, where possible, provide an advanced curriculum from the Year 7

level.

Table 6.1 below sets out details of the designated bilingual schools and their programs.

Section 7: The Victorian School of Languages

In 2008, the VSL provided language programs through its 40 centres (30 in the

metropolitan area and 10 in regional areas) and made a significant contribution to the

range of languages students could access across Victoria. The government-run school

provides for students from all educational sectors who wish to develop their home or

heritage language, who are seeking continuity in LOTE study after changing schools, or

those who wish to learn a new language. Lessons are generally provided outside regular

school hours, usually on Saturday mornings, and are typically of three hours duration.

In total, 16,097 students from Prep to Year 12 studied languages through the VSL in

2008 (including enrolments via distance education). Of these, 6,914 were primary

school students, and the remaining 9,183 were secondary students. Total enrolments at

the VSL in 2008 increased by 11.5% from the 2007 figure of 14,432. The significant

increase in student enrolments was the result of a promotional drive by the VSL, and the

enthusiasm created for languages in the wake of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s

promotion of Chinese (Mandarin) and the importance of language study. Forty-seven

languages were studied at the VSL in 2008, including Auslan, Dinka, Pushto, Romanian

and Somali, all of which were offered for the first time. Classes in Urdu were not

offered in 2008.

Distance education continued to provide an important avenue for LOTE study, with

enrolments in distance education representing 19.6% of secondary level VSL

enrolments in 2008. A further 24 students studied through distance education in Year 6.

All figures referring to the VSL in this section include enrolments through distance

education. Further details on distance education are available in the following section:

Distance Education Section of the Victorian School of Languages.

Students also studied Vocational Education and Training (VET) language courses

through the VSL at Certificate levels I, II and III. These students studied at the senior

secondary level, but are not allocated a year level. As a result, figures for VET are listed

separately in the relevant tables.

Figure 7.1 provides a comparison of all VSL enrolments from 2002 to 2008 at the

primary and secondary levels, as well as total enrolments.

compared to 2007, representing a 12.0% increase. The pattern at the secondary level

was similar: there were 921 additional students in 2008, an 11.1% increase on 2007

figures. Thus, the overall increase in total enrolments was 11.5%.

Table 7.1, below, sets out the total VSL enrolments for each language by year level.

As Table 7.1 reveals, a total of 47 languages were offered through the VSL in 2008.

Three languages – Auslan, Latin and Romanian – were studied only at secondary level.

The remaining 44 languages were studied at both primary and secondary levels. The

five most popular languages overall were Chinese (Mandarin), Vietnamese, Turkish,

Greek and Japanese. Together, these five languages account for 48.7% of total

enrolments in the VSL, with the remaining students spread over the wide range of

languages offered.

Chinese (Mandarin) and Vietnamese were strongly represented across primary and

secondary sectors – both languages have over 1,000 students each at primary and

secondary levels. There were, however, noticeable differences in patterns of enrolments

between the primary and secondary levels for some other languages. Community

languages such as Greek and Sinhala, for example, have stronger enrolments in the

primary than in the secondary sector. By contrast, Japanese and French have a higher

proportion of total enrolments at secondary level.

At both the primary and secondary levels, enrolments in the five most widely studied

languages increased when compared to 2007 figures, with the most substantial increases

in Chinese (Mandarin) and Vietnamese. Other languages to experience substantial

increases in enrolments between 2007 and 2008 include Sinhala (from 332 students in

2007 to 471 in 2008), Arabic (633 to 720), Italian (604 to 706), French (623 to 741) and

Croatian (334 to 412).

Table 7.1 VSL enrolments by language and year level, 2008.

VSL

__________________________________________________________________________

The proportion of government to non-government student enrolments remained

comparable to 2007 levels. Figure 7.2 represents the proportions of primary and

secondary students studying at the VSL who attend government and non-government

schools and colleges.

Figure 7.2 Enrolments at the VSL, by sector, 2008.

As can be seen in Figure 7.3, the proportion of government school students to non-

government school students varied considerably between languages. Students of

Vietnamese and French, for example, were drawn in almost equal proportions from

government and non-government schools, while students of Arabic, Chinese

(Mandarin), Greek, Japanese and Turkish, among others, were predominantly from

government schools. On the other hand, students from non-government schools

studying Italian outnumbered those from the government sector.

Figure 7.4 looks at enrolments at the senior secondary level by sector at the VSL. IT

shows that students in government schools are more likely to study Chinese (Mandarin)

and Vietnamese through to the senior secondary level, than students in non-government

schools. The figure also shows that, more generally, students of French, Japanese,

Indonesian and Spanish are more likely to continue language study through to the senior

secondary level than students of Arabic, Greek and Turkish.

Distance Education Section of the Victorian School of Languages

In 2008, the Distance Education Section of the Victorian School of Languages

offered language programs in Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Greek,

Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Latin and Spanish to secondary students wishing to

study a language which was not offered by their school or college, or to those not

currently attending a school. Nineteen point six percent of all secondary students

enrolled at the VSL were studying a LOTE through Distance Education. Language

study through Distance Education was previously available only for secondary

students; however, it was introduced at the Year 6 level in 2007. As Table 7.4 shows,

24 Year 6 students enrolled to study a language through Distance Education in 2008.

Overall, the numbers of students studying a language through Distance Education

were similar to 2007 levels. The most substantial increase in enrolments occurred for

Arabic, which grew from 15 students in 2007 to 52 in 2008. Numbers in the

remaining languages were generally stable.

Section 8: Appendixes

Appendix 1: Program Types and Target Groups

LOTE Programs (formerly called language object programs)

These programs focus on the teaching and learning of the target language/s. The

Victorian DEECD recommends that LOTE programs be undertaken for a minimum

of 150 minutes per week.

Bilingual Programs

These programs consist of at least two key learning areas in addition to LOTE being

taught in the target language for at least 450 minutes per week. Existing programs

receive additional funding through the DEECD’s Bilingual Programs Initiative.

Language and Cultural Awareness Programs

These programs introduce limited vocabulary and aspects of society, language and

culture.

Second Language Model

This model of program is designed to cater mainly for students without a background

in the target language/s.

First Language Model

This model of program is designed to cater mainly for students with a background in

the target language/s.

Mixed Classes

This model of program is designed to cater for both students who have, and students

who do not have, a background in that language, e.g. Greek being taught to a mixed

class containing students of both English-speaking background and students of

Greek-speaking background.
