Advice
Members of the RCLC are frequently invited to provide advice to educational and other professional groups and to community agencies on matters pertaining to languages and cultures policy and professional practice in diverse contexts.
Recently, for example, members have provided advice on the development and implementation of:
- A National Statement and Plan for Languages Education in Australian Schools, 2005-2008 to the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Work Affairs’ (MCEETYA) Working Party on Languages Education
- New Zealand Ministry of Education on the development of a new curriculum framework to guide languages education
- A review of the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and subsequent advice on the development of the new SACE.
Members of the RCLC have undertaken numerous reviews of educational programs of
educational systems, research programs of university faculties and on
aspects of international education.
We welcome opportunities to engage in dialogue pertaining to evaluation,
reviews and policy/program developments which entail consideration of the
interplay of languages and cultures.
