LOTE

=The use of ICT in Foreign Language Teaching= Some of the main foreign languages taught in schools under the LOTE (Languages other than English) umbrella :

French Japanese German Spanish Indonesian Italian Latin Chinese Modern Greek

In Years 7 and 8 in NSW students must study 100 compulsory hours. Languages are generally elective after that. By Years 11 and 12 the languages offered generally have 3 different levels of courses eg Beginners, Continuers, Extension and some have special courses for Native (Background) Speakers.

This is a yahoo group made up of students from last year's EDLA-965 unit. It has been a bit dead lately but happy for more people to join and try and breath some life back into it!
