The importance of learning Asian languages
Where do we need to be by 2030 and how do we get there?
This webinar is focused on the challenges for language education in Australia, and the importance of learning Asian Languages in our region.
Lead by Hamish Curry, the panel discussion will explore the issues faced at all levels of education, from Primary and Secondary through to tertiary closures and teacher education. It will also examine emerging technologies and the value of face-to-face vs online learning.
