Preface

In 2006, 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 2006. 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 2006, 19 in secondary colleges and 40 through the VSL. In government primary and secondary colleges, a total of 353,302 students studied a language, with a further 15,122 primary and secondary students enrolled in the VSL, 10,069 of whom were government school students. The Distance Education Section of the VSL provided courses in nine languages, which were accessed by 18.3% of students studying through the VSL. Italian, Indonesian, Japanese, French, German, Chinese, Auslan and Greek were most widely taught languages across all government schools. However, at the VSL, community languages were of greater significance. The top eight languages at the VSL were Chinese, Vietnamese, Turkish, Greek, Japanese, French, Arabic and Italian. With 49 languages accessible through government schools and the VSL, the Department of Education (DoE) hopes to maintain a breadth of high quality programs and languages offerings in Victoria.

Note that while the term ‘Chinese’ refers to numerous fang yan (languages/dialects), all references to Chinese in this report refer to Mandarin. Cantonese, another important and widely spoken fang yan, was offered at the VSL primary level in 2006 and will be referred to as such.

Trends

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 LOTE study at the primary and secondary levels.

Primary LOTE programs While the provision of LOTE is still very strong at the primary level in Victoria, over the last six years there has been a continuing decline in both the number of students and schools involved in LOTE study. The number of schools offering a LOTE has declined from 96.3% in 2000 to 82.9% in 2006 (Figure A). This decline has been at all year levels. The largest decrease being a 16.2% loss at the Year 3 level, while the smallest change has been an 11.3% decrease in the number of schools offering a LOTE at the Prep level (See Figure 1.1). Concurrently, the number of primary school students studying a LOTE has also declined from 88.0% in 2000 to 79.5% of students in 2006 (See Figure 1.3).

Trends

Another significant change has been the move towards the teaching of language awareness programs, which focus largely on culture, rather than LOTE programs, which focus on teaching students to communicate in the language. In 2000, only 34.0% of primary programs were language awareness programs, but in 2006, a majority, 54.3% of programs focused on culture. LOTE programs have decreased from 65.0% in 2000 to only 45.1% in 2006 (See Figure 1.7). While the number of schools offering most languages has decreased between 2000 and 2006, the number of schools offering Indonesian has decreased notably, with 30.2% of schools which offered the language in 2000 not longer doing so in 2006 (Many of these schools offer another language, while some schools no longer teach a language). While the number of schools offering Italian has also decreased (-13.0%), the situation is more stable and Italian is poised to become the language taught in the largest number of primary schools (See Table 1.1 and Figure 1.4). It is already the language with the highest number of student enrolments. Over the same period, enrolments at the VSL have continued to grow at the primary level, increasing by 25.9% since 2000. Enrolments stood at 6,366 students in 2006, with 4,369 of these students from government schools. Chinese and Turkish remain the languages with the highest enrolments, while Vietnamese, Greek and Macedonian have experienced notable increases over the last six years. More recently, enrolments in Bosnian and Punjabi have also increased significantly, while enrolments in Arabic have halved. The continuing increase in VSL enrolments demonstrates a strong interest in accessing community language study at a primary level. In 2006, 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 DoE Curriculum Planning Guidelines recommend that students receive 150 minutes of LOTE study per week. However in 2006, only 2.2% of primary LOTE programs ran for 150 minutes or more per week (see Figure 1.6).

Secondary LOTE programs LOTE provision at the secondary level is also strong in Victoria, although there have been a few negative trends developing in secondary LOTE provision. Since 2000, the percentage of secondary schools offering LOTE programs has continued to decrease from a high of 98.0% to 92.9% of schools in 2006. This does however, represent a slight increase from 2005 (See Figure B).

Figure B Number and percentage of secondary schools providing a LOTE

program, 2000 – 2006. For details refer to Appendix 2, Table 3.7. Enrolments in secondary LOTE programs have fluctuated slightly over the last six years, from a high of 52.2% of students in 2000 to 48.8% in 2005. The largest decrease in enrolments for a number of years has been at the Year 10 level, with a 23.5% decrease between 2000 and 2006 (see Figure 2.4). The proportion of male enrolments has remained similar between 2000 and 2006, although there has been a small increase of approximately 3% in male enrolments at the Year 11 and 12 levels. While there was an increase in the number of students undertaking language study at the VCE level in both regional and metropolitan areas between 2002 and 2004, there has been a subsequent decline in enrolments. However, the percentage of Year 12 students studying a language in metropolitan areas (9.7%) and regional areas (7.0%) is still higher than in 2000 where only 8.7% of metropolitan and 5.9% of regional students studied a language at the Year 12 level (see Figure 2.20). Another positive indicator for secondary level LOTE programs has been the movement towards programs focusing on the target language, up from 82.3% in 2000 to 95.4% in 2006. Only 4.6% of programs in secondary schools are language awareness programs (see Figure 2.12). The top six languages studied in government secondary colleges have all experienced rising and falling enrolments between 2000 and 2006, with Indonesian experiencing the only sustained decline and Chinese the only sustained increase (see Figure 2.9).

Trends

Enrolments of all secondary school students at the VSL have decreased 12.7% between 2000 and 2006 (government school student enrolments have decreased 10.7%). Chinese, Vietnamese, Turkish, Japanese and French remain the most popular languages at the VSL, while enrolments in Spanish have decreased 75.4% over the same time period (see Figure 2.25). Amongst languages with smaller candidatures, Bosnian, Korean, Punjabi, Sinhala and Dari are some of the languages to have had notable increases in enrolments in recent years. Between 2000 and 2006, the time given to LOTE study at the secondary level has remained stable at the Year 11 and 12 levels at around 230 minutes. Significantly, the time provided for language study has increased considerably for all other year levels. For example, between 2000 and 2006, contact time for language programs at the Year 7 level has increased from less than 120 minutes per week to nearly 150 minutes, while contact time at the Year 10 level has increased from less than 160 minutes to nearly 200 minutes per week. The following two figures detail trends in the 10 most studied languages between 2000 and 2006, combining government school enrolments at the primary and secondary levels, as well as all enrolments of government schools students at the VSL. The most noticeable trend in schools has been the decline of Indonesian (Figure C), while the growing importance of the provision of Chinese and Auslan is apparent in Figure D.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Primary Schools

Schools • One thousand and forty-five (1,045) government primary schools

provided some form of LOTE program in 2006, 82.9% of the total of 1,260 primary schools¹. Across all schools, language study is most commonly offered at Years 5 and 6 (80.7%).

Students • A total of 244,504 primary students studied a language in 2006.

This represents 79.5% of government primary school students, a decrease of 6.5% compared to the percentage of students studying a language in 2005. LOTE provision was lowest at the Prep level, where 68.9% of students studied a language, while the highest concentration of students studying LOTE was at the Year 6 level, at 88.0%.

Languages Taught • A total of 23 languages were offered in government primary

schools in 2006 (excluding VSL languages). There were a number of changes in languages offered between 2005 and 2006. Croatian was not offered, while Danish, Malay and Tagalog/Filipino were offered in schools in 2006. Indonesian was the most widely studied language across schools, (282 or 27.0% of schools offered Indonesian), followed by Italian (281 schools, 26.9%), Japanese (203 schools, 19.4%), German (98 schools, 9.4%), French (103 schools, 9.9%), Chinese (44 schools, 4.2%) and Auslan (39 schools, 3.7%).

• Although Indonesian was the language most widely offered across primary schools, Italian registered the highest number of student enrolments at 71,560.

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 with primary and secondary levels are included in both primary and secondary analyses as appropriate.

12

Summary - Primary

• The largest numerical increases in student numbers were in the Indigenous Languages (166 to 1,427) and Auslan (4,776 to 6,975), with Japanese (55,654 to 48,347) and Indonesian (67,705 to 61,513 students) enrolments continuing to decline.

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 11 hours per week, with an average of 62.5 minutes per week. Only 2.2% of LOTE programs provided a minimum of 150 minutes of LOTE education per week as recommended in the DOEreport, Curriculum Planning Guidelines.

• In immersion/bilingual programs, students learn curriculum content through the medium of the target language for a minimum of 450 minutes per week. In 2006, the average contact time for these programs was above the specified minimum at 495.4 minutes per week.

Program Type • A majority of primary school students, 54.3%, studied LOTE

through language awareness programs which focus chiefly on culture. Forty-five point one per cent (45.1%) of primary students studied through LOTE programs, with a further 0.5% of students studying LOTE in immersion/bilingual programs.

• The most common method of teacher provision for LOTE programs was through LOTE staff allocations within schools (95.4%), followed by externally employed/funded LOTE teachers (3.8%), the Bilingual Schools Project initiative (0.8%) and telematics and video conferencing (0.1%).

Target Group • Ninety-three point three percent (93.3%) of students were in

classes primarily targeting second language learners. Mixed classes, which incorporate students with and without a background in the target language, dropped to 6.0% in 2006, while first language classes represented 0.6% of primary students.

13

Summary - Primary

Teachers • There were 787 primary LOTE teachers in 2006 with some form of

LOTE qualification. • Teachers of Asian languages represented 52.4% of LOTE teachers,

with the largest proportion of these (at 28.8%) being Indonesian teachers. European language teachers accounted for 45.2% of teachers, with Italian teachers comprising 24.0% of European language teachers.

• Eighty-nine point six per cent (89.6%) of primary LOTE teachers in 2006 were female. A higher percentage of male teachers taught Asian languages (13.3%) than European languages (7.6%).

• Amongst primary LOTE teachers, 43.8% 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.

• Fifty-two per cent (52.0%) of primary LOTE teachers were employed for a time fraction of less than 0.8 (an average of 0.35, or just under two days per week).

Regional Provision of LOTE • The Eastern Metropolitan Region had the highest level of LOTE

provision at the primary level with 93.2% of schools offering LOTE programs. Provision of LOTE programs fell across the board in the nine educational regions, with the most notable decrease occurring in the Barwon South-Western Region (-11.6%). Enrolments in the Loddon Mallee Region declined 9.4%, in the Hume Region by 8.6%, in the Grampians Region by 7.6%, in the Gippsland Region by 7.5%, in the Western Metropolitan Region by 4.4%, in the Southern and Northern Metropolitan Regions by 3.6% and by 3.3% in the Eastern Metropolitan Region.

Victorian School of Languages (VSL) • The VSL offered 40 languages to primary students across 38

centres (9 in regional areas). Students were provided with approximately three hours per week of LOTE instruction, mainly on Saturday mornings.

• The number of primary students studying a LOTE through the VSL increased to 6,366 students in 2006. Enrolments by government school students represented 68.6% of VSL enrolments (4,369 students).

• Comparative to the number of students studying each language in 2005, enrolments in Maltese (50.0%), Hindi (48.7%), Arabic

14

Summary - Primary

(30.9%), and Vietnamese (15.8%) increased in 2006. Enrolments decreased most notably in Bengali (58.8%) and Albanian (54.2%).

Telematics • The number of primary schools utilising telematics dropped to

three in 2006 with student numbers decreasing accordingly from 1,243 to 151. Telematics was used to deliver programs in Italian, French and Indigenous Languages.

15

Summary: Secondary

Secondary Colleges

Colleges • In 2006, 289 or 92.9% of the 311 secondary colleges provided

languages programs at one or more levels. • Of the colleges providing a LOTE course, 54.5% 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.

• The VSL continues to be an important provider of LOTE at Year 11 and 12, with 27.0% of Year 11 government LOTE students and 35.6% of Year 12 government LOTE students studying a LOTE through the VSL.

Students • A total of 105,803 students were studying a LOTE in government

secondary colleges in 2006, representing 48.2% of full-time students at Victorian government colleges. A further 2,995 students studied a second language (for example, through taster programs), bringing the total number of students to 108,798.

• Enrolments figures were relatively stable across most year levels, but declined 6.7% at the Year 11 level, while increasing 3.8% at the Year 10 level.

Male / Female Enrolments • As in 2005, male students of LOTE slightly outnumbered female

students in Years 7 and 8, but by Year 12, females accounted for 67.4% of LOTE students. There was, however, a 19.8% increase in male enrolments at the Year 10 level (female enrolments declined slightly at the same level, -3.9%).

• There was a significant increase in male enrolments in French, up from 31.1% in 2005 to 44.3% of students in 2006. Males slightly outnumbered females in a small number of languages including German, Greek, Italian and Vietnamese.

Languages Taught • Nineteen languages were taught in secondary colleges in 2006. The

highest enrolments were in Indonesian, French, Italian, Japanese, German, Chinese, Greek and Vietnamese.

16

Summary: Secondary

Program Type • Ninety five point four percent (95.4%) of the secondary programs

were LOTE programs focusing specifically on the target language, while language awareness programs accounted for 4.6% of programs. At the secondary level, one school program was classified as a bilingual program meeting the recommended minimum of 450 minutes per week of classes taught in the target language.

Target group • Ninety one percent (91.0%) of LOTE students were in classes

primarily targeting second language learners. Students in mixed language classes represented 7.7% of enrolments, while 1.4% of students were in classes targeting first language learners.

Contact Time • The average weekly contact time remained similar to 2005 levels,

with Year 7 students studying LOTE for 149 minutes per week and Year 12 students studying LOTE for 234 minutes per week.

• In 2006, 70.5% of Year 7 LOTE students and 70.2% of Year 8 LOTE students were in programs that ran for a minimum of 144 minutes per week (the recommended minimum is 150 minutes per week). At Years 11 and 12, 91.7% and 95.0% of LOTE students respectively, studied for a minimum of 200 minutes per week. These figures are slightly higher than those noted last year, indicating that more students have contact times that are closer to the recommended exposure.

Teachers • There were 1,226 secondary teachers teaching LOTE in 2006, an

increase of 53 teachers since 2005. • Teachers of Asian languages accounted for 42.3% of teachers,

while 56.2% of teachers taught European languages. French teachers accounted for 20.1% of all LOTE teachers, while Indonesian teachers accounted for 19.9%.

Primary: Schools

PART 1: PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Schools Of the total of 1,260 government primary schools in Victoria in 2006, 1,045 or 82.9% provided some form of LOTE program. This figure represents a decrease of 72 schools since 2005. The number of students studying a LOTE in 2006 also decreased (see Students section). Of the 216 primary schools without LOTE programs, the majority stated that they had been unable to attract qualified LOTE staff. The number of primary schools offering LOTE programs at Years 3 to 6 showed a small decline from 84.0% in 2005 to 80.0% in 2006. A similar trend occurred at the lower primary level, with a decline at Years 1 and 2 of approximately 4.0%. Provision was lowest at the Prep level, with 69.2% of schools offering a LOTE, a decrease of 5.1%. (See Figure 1.2 for details).

Figure 1.2 Sequences of LOTE programs in primary schools, 2006. ‘Other’

refers to various non-sequential or partial sequences. Government primary schools offered twenty-two languages in 2006, including several new languages which were not offered in 2005: Danish, Tagalog/ Filipino and Malay (see Table 1.1). Croatian was the only language offered in 2005, but not 2006. Despite a 1.7% decrease in the number of schools offering the language, Indonesian is still the language most widely offered at the primary level, accounting for 27.0% of LOTE programs. Numerically, however, more students are studying Italian (see Table 1.3). The number of schools offering Italian, Japanese, German, Greek and Vietnamese also experienced a small decline, while the number of Chinese programs increased by 0.6%. The largest increase, however, was in the number of schools offering Auslan, a rise of 1.3%.

Primary: Contact Time

Contact Time The time spent by primary students on language learning in 2006 ranged from 10 minutes to 11 hours per week, with an average of 62.5 minutes per week. The largest proportion of programs, 73.1%, ran for between 31 and 60 minutes per week, while only 2.2% of programs ran for the recommended minimum of 150 minutes per week (See Figure 1.6). Students in immersion/bilingual programs spent an average of 495.4 minutes per week studying in the target LOTE. The delivery of LOTE programs via telematics averaged 57.5 minutes per week.

Primary: Program Type

Program Type Individual programs within schools were divided into three types. The first and most common type of program is a LOTE program, which focuses on the teaching and learning of the target language. The second type of program is a bilingual/immersion 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, language and cultural awareness programs, includes a limited introduction of vocabulary and a greater focus on the teaching of aspects of society and culture. The aims of the programs and the teaching methods used differ accordingly. In 2006, 54.3% of students studied a language through language and cultural awareness programs, with a further 45.1% of students studying through LOTE programs. These figures confirm the continuing shift in favour of language awareness programs, which overtook LOTE as the most common type of program for the first time in 2005. Only 0.5% of programs were bilingual/immersion programs. Although some additional schools stated that they taught bilingual/immersion programs, they did not satisfy the DOE criteria requiring that the curriculum be taught for a minimum of 450 minutes per week in the target language. These programs were therefore counted as LOTE rather than bilingual/immersion programs in Figure 1.7 and Table 1.5.

There are four methods of staff provision for primary LOTE classes— through LOTE staff allocations within schools, through externally funded or employed LOTE staff, through telematics and video conferencing or through the Bilingual Schools Project initiative. By far the most common method of provision was through LOTE staff allocations within schools, with 95.4% of students receiving LOTE programs through this method. Externally employed/funded LOTE teachers supported 3.8% of students. Allocations through the bilingual schools project initiative represented 0.8% of student enrolments in 2006, with telematics and video conferencing representing just 0.1%.

33

Primary: Target Groups

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 languages while others did not. Nearly all primary school students, 93.3%, were in programs targeted towards second language learners. The number of students participating in mixed classes dropped to 6.0% in 2006, while student numbers in first language classes rose slightly from 2005 figures to 0.6%. Nine languages were represented in the first language group. The largest enrolments for first language classes were in Greek, Arabic and Chinese. Full details are provided in Table 1.7.

Primary: Teachers

Teachers In 2006, there were 787 primary school teachers with some form of LOTE qualification teaching languages. There was a further 244 qualified teachers not teaching a LOTE in 2006 (these teachers were on leave, teaching other subjects or had taken on other roles in the schools). Teachers of Asian languages represented 52.4% of these LOTE teachers, with Indonesian teachers representing the highest percentage of teachers of an Asian language at 28.8%. European language teachers accounted for 45.2% of teachers, with Italian teachers representing the highest percentage of teachers of European languages at 24.0%. Teachers of Auslan, Middle Eastern and Indigenous languages represented the remaining 2.3% of LOTE teachers. The overall proportion of male LOTE teachers dropped slightly to 10.4% in 2006 from a 2005 figure of 11.7%. The proportion of male teachers teaching Asian languages remained fairly constant at 13.3%. Only 7.6% of European language teachers were male in 2006 compared with 10.0% in 2005. There were no male teachers teaching in the Auslan, Middle Eastern and Indigenous Language groups. Numerically, there were 705 female LOTE teachers and 82 male teachers in primary schools. Approximately 1760 teachers, who were not LOTE qualified, supported LOTE programs in 2006.

Primary: Teachers

Amongst primary LOTE teachers, 43.8% were fully qualified, having completed either: • A three year post-VCE major sequence or a four year beginners

sequence at tertiary level in the language they were teaching (or a statement of equivalence from a Victorian university), as well as an approved LOTE teaching method, including theory and practicum; or

• LOTE Accreditation granted by the Department of Education. A number of teachers taught at both the primary and secondary levels. Five point two percent (5.2%) of teachers taught at the primary and secondary level within one school, a further 4.9% of LOTE teachers taught in more than one primary school, while 1.1% of LOTE teachers taught in more than two primary schools. In addition, two teachers (0.3%) taught two different LOTEs at two different schools. Overall 6.3% of primary LOTE teachers taught at multiple primary schools or at both the primary and secondary levels.

Primary: Teachers

Thirty nine point nine per cent (39.9%) of primary LOTE teachers were employed full time, with 60.1% teaching part-time (on a time fraction less than 1.0). There was not a significant difference in the numbers of hours teachers taught LOTE in relation to their time fraction. Those employed full time spent an average of 10.7 hours per week in the language classroom, while teachers employed part time spent an average of 9.2 hours per week in the classroom. Figure 1.12 represents the range of LOTE teaching hours for LOTE teachers. Overall, 53.1% of teachers worked between 1 and 9.5 hours per week.

Primary: Regional Provision

Regional Provision of LOTE While, 82.9% of primary schools offered some form of LOTE program in 2006, the Eastern Metropolitan Region had the highest percentage of primary schools providing LOTE at 93.2%. The Loddon Mallee Region had the lowest level of provision at 74.6% of schools. Provision of LOTE fell across the board in 2006, with the most notable decreases occurring in the Barwon South-Western region (-13.5%) and the Loddon Mallee Region (-9.4%). A comparison between provision in all educational regions between 2005 and 2006 is provided in Figure 1.13 below. When examining languages according to region, Indonesian had the highest recorded student enrolments in five regions – the Barwon South Western, Loddon Mallee, Hume, Gippsland and the Southern Metropolitan Regions. The study of Indonesian in primary schools was most highly concentrated in the Loddon Mallee Region where 63.2% of all primary school LOTE students studied the language. In the Grampians and Eastern Metropolitan Region enrolments were highest in Japanese, while Italian had the highest student enrolments in the Northern and Western Metropolitan Regions. In the Northern Metropolitan Region, 63.9% of all primary school students studying a LOTE were studying Italian. The number of languages offered in each region ranged from 7 (in Hume) to 14 (in the Southern Metropolitan Region). Figure 1.14 provides details of student enrolments per language in each region, while Figure 1.15 provides a proportional representation of this information.

Primary: VSL

The Victorian School of Languages The VSL provided language programs through its 38 centres (29 in the metropolitan area and 9 in regional areas) and made a significant contribution to the range of languages offered across Victoria. Of the 40 languages offered by the VSL, 38 were provided to primary school students ranging from Years 1 to 6. Lessons were scheduled outside regular school hours, usually on Saturday mornings, and were of approximately three hours duration. The school provides for students from all educational sectors who wish to develop a home or heritage language, who are seeking continuity in LOTE study after changing schools, or who wish to learn a new language. In 2006, a total of 6,366 primary students from government, Catholic and independent schools attended the VSL, a 0.8% increase from 2005. Students from government schools represented 4,369 of the enrolments. Figure 1.16 provides a comparison of all VSL enrolments from 2000 to 2006 in primary classes and in all classes. Note that although there were no formal classes for Prep students, a small number of pre-Year 1 students attended VSL classes. They have been included in the statistics for Year 1 students.

Figure 1.18 Government primary student enrolments at the VSL, 2000 – 2006. In 2006, several languages had enrolments of more than 500 government primary school students, namely Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Vietnamese. Of these four languages, only Vietnamese experienced a slight increase in government enrolments (8.6%). Amharic, Czech and Hebrew were introduced to the VSL in 2006 while Pashto was not offered (See Table 1.8). When enrolments from both government and non-government schools are totalled, Chinese and Vietnamese have more than 1,000 primary students at the VSL. Combined government and non-government enrolments increased notably for Maltese (50.0%), Hindi (48.7%) and Arabic (30.9%), as well as for Vietnamese, which after a growth of 15.8% overtook Chinese as the language with the highest number of combined student enrolments. Figure 1.19 shows the total enrolments from all sectors for a selection of languages.

Figure 1.19 Primary enrolments at the VSL by language, all

sectors, 2006. Details for languages listed under 'Other' can be found in Appendix 2, Table 3.6.

48

Primary: VSL

As demonstrated in Figure 1.20 following, the proportion of government school students to non-government school students varied considerably between languages. Students of Spanish and Italian, for example, were drawn in almost equal proportions from government and non-government schools, while students Chinese, Greek, Turkish and Arabic, among others, were predominantly from government schools. On the other hand, students from non-government schools studying Croatian outnumbered those from the government sector. Figure 1.21 outlines the changes in primary LOTE enrolment at the VSL for the six most commonly studied languages between 2000 and 2006. Between 2005 and 2006, enrolments in Turkish, Greek and Chinese decreased slightly, while Arabic experienced continued growth. Following a sharp decline of 15.9% in 2005, enrolments in Vietnamese grew again by 15.8% in 2006, returning student numbers to near their former level.

Primary: Telematics

Telematics As indicated in Figure 1.23 below, enrolments in telematics have varied considerably since 2000. Telematics involves the provision of LOTE classes through visual and audio links such as video, computers, conferencing, facsimile and telephone. In 2006, the number of students studying a LOTE via telematics dropped 87.9% from 2005. The number of schools utilising telematics has also fallen to three. Telematics was utilised to run Italian, French and Indigenous Languages programs in 2006.

Secondary: Colleges

PART 2: SECONDARY COLLEGES

Colleges In 2006, the number of government secondary colleges offering language programs remained high, with 289 (92.9%) of a total of 311 colleges running some form of LOTE program. However, there has been a further reduction in the extent to which language programs are offered within schools. For example, in Figure 2.1 we can see a continuing decrease in the number of schools offering languages at all year levels. The largest decrease in LOTE provision was at the Year 11 level, with a 9.1% reduction in the number of schools offering a LOTE, continuing a significant decrease from 2004. Overall, figures at all year levels except Year 12 are at their lowest since 2000.

‘Other sequences’ refers to the provision of LOTE programs at non-sequential year levels or partial sequences. Note that 7.1% of secondary college do not offer classes from Years 7 to 12. For example, they are senior secondary colleges or Years 7 to 10 colleges.

In 2006, there were a number of changes in languages offered by schools. Significant decreases were seen for Indonesian (from 127 to 121 schools), Vietnamese (from 11 to 7 schools) and Spanish (from 6 to 2 schools). However, the popularity of Latin (from 2 to 4 schools) and Italian (from 82 to 86 schools) increased. Samoan was offered for the first time in 2006. the number of schools offering the same languages remained similar to 2005 levels. The number of colleges running compulsory LOTE programs remained similar at the Year 7 to 9 levels. Figures remain highest at Year 7 where language study of compulsory in 84.6% of schools, but decreases significantly at the Year 9 level to 32.2%, with only 7.1% of schools requiring languages study at the Year 10 level (See Figure 2.3).

Secondary: Students

Students In 2006, 48.2%, or 108,798 students (105,803 students plus a further 2,995 students studying more than one language at school through taster programs) studied a LOTE in government secondary colleges, a 2.6% decrease since 2005 when there were 111,710 LOTE students. This was a decrease in participation at all year levels, except Year 10, although the decrease at the Year 7 to 9 levels was minimal. The largest decreases were at the Year 11 (-10.6%) and Year 12 (-4.5%) levels. After a significant decline in 2005, enrolments increase at the Year 10 level by 2.8% (See Figure 2.4).

Secondary: Male / Female

Male / Female Enrolments Equivalent numbers of males and females undertook LOTE programs at the Year 7 and 8 levels in 2005 due to the predominantly compulsory nature of LOTE study at these levels. The number of males studying a language at the Year 9 level increased by 4.5%, with a comparable number of males and females studying languages. There was also a significant increase in the number of males studying LOTE at a Year 10 level, up to 42.0% from 38.6% in 2005. However, from this level, female participation becomes progressively higher, until they represent 67.4% of LOTE students in Year 12 (See Figure 2.6). Male participation did increase slightly at the Year 11 and 12 levels. The overall proportion of LOTE secondary students was 51.2% female and 48.8% male.

Secondary: Male / Female

The gender balance within the majority of languages changed slightly in 2006, with the number of male students exceeding those of females in four of the ten most popular languages. While male enrolments were already higher in Greek and Vietnamese, a slight change in enrolments resulted in males being predominant in Italian and German as well in 2006. There was also a large increase in the percentage of males studying French, up from 31.1% of students in 2005 to 44.3% of students in 2006. The largest differences in gender were in smaller candidature languages - Khmer (65.9% male), Indigenous languages (66.7% female) and Samoan (77.8% male).

Concurrent with the largely compulsory nature of LOTE programs in Years 7 and 8, student enrolments in the top eight languages, represented in Figure 2.10, peaked in Years 7 and 8 and decreased dramatically to the Year 12 level. Year 12 enrolments in Indonesian, French, Italian, Japanese and German represented a fraction of their corresponding Year 7 enrolments, with the proportion of students taking each language changing as well. The proportion of students studying Italian decreased the most, from 20.3% of Year 7 LOTE enrolments to 9.6% at the Year 12 level, while Chinese increased the most from 3.2% of LOTE enrolments in Year 7 to 14.6% in Year 12. French, German, Greek, and Japanese maintained the most stable level of enrolments between Year 7 and 12. The proportion of students studying Indonesian decreased, but remained strong (See Table 2.4).

Secondary: Program Type

Program Type

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 focus on the teaching and learning of the target language; a bilingual/immersion 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 were introduced. In 2006, while some schools taught a small number of classes through a language and cultural awareness program and one school offered a program that met the bilingual/immersion program requirement of 450 minutes per week of teaching in the target language. Program types were divided into three categories, LOTE programs, which increased slightly from 95.3% to 95.4%, language and cultural awareness programs, which fell slightly, from 4.7% to 4.6%, and the addition of a bilingual program. (See also Figure 2.12).

Secondary: Target Groups

Target Groups Colleges provide programs for three different groups of students: those 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 and some students did not have a background in the target language). In 2006, a large majority of students, 91.0%, were in LOTE classes targeted at second language learners. This was a decrease from 92.8% in 2005. Enrolments in mixed classes however increased from 6.2% in 2005 to 7.7%, with Indonesian, French and Italian the languages most likely to involve mixed classes. First language classes only represented 1.4% of all LOTE programs. First language Second

Secondary: Contact Time

Contact Time The average contact time for LOTE programs remained relatively constant in 2006 for the lower year levels, rising slightly at the Year 10 and 11 levels, and decreasing slightly at the Year 12 level. Contact time varied for each language, and at each year level. At the Year 7 level, Auslan programs ran for an average of 92.5 minutes per week (compared to 111 minutes in 2004), while Turkish programs received the highest level of contact time at 200 minutes per week. At the Year 12 level, Indigenous Language programs averaged 150 minutes per week, while Macedonian programs had the highest average at 250 minutes per week. On average across the year levels Korean and Turkish had the highest levels of contact time at 211 and 210 minutes per week (See Figure 2.13). The time allocated to LOTE also varied from college to college. In 2006, 70.5% of Year 7 LOTE students and 70.2% of Year 8 LOTE students were in programs that ran for a minimum of 144 minutes per week, similar to 2005 levels (the recommended minimum is 150 minutes per week). At the Year 11 and 12 levels, 91.7% and 95% of LOTE students respectively, studied for a minimum of 200 minutes per week. Again, these figures were similar to 2005 levels. At the Year 10 and 11 levels, contact time and the number of schools teaching the recommended exposure have risen. At Year 12 level, average contact times and the number of schools teaching the recommended minimum have decreased slightly. Overall, 81.3% of LOTE students were in programs that ran for 40 weeks each year, up from 76.1% in 2005. A further 18.4% of students were in programs that ran for between 20 and 39 weeks, while only 0.3% of students were in programs that ran for less than 20 weeks per year.

Secondary: Teachers

Teachers In 2006, there were 1,226 secondary LOTE teachers who had some form of LOTE qualification, an increase of six teachers from 2005. Teachers of Asian languages accounted for 42.3% of LOTE teachers, while European language teachers accounted for 56.2% of teachers; both similar percentages to 2005. French had the highest percentage, at 20.1% of all LOTE teachers, followed by Indonesian at 19.9%, Italian at 18.7% and Japanese at 17.0%. Numerically, there were 942 female LOTE teachers and 284 male teachers in secondary colleges in 2006 (See Figure 2.14).

The proportion of male teachers remained similar to 2005 levels at 23.2% of LOTE teachers. The proportion of male teachers teaching Asian languages was 25.1%, with the vast majority of these teaching Indonesian or Japanese (40.0% and 46.2% respectively). The percentage of male teachers of European languages was 21.2%, with the highest percentage of males teaching French (35.6%) (See Figures 2.15 & 2.16). In 2006, there were four languages where male teachers outnumbered their female counterparts. These were Arabic, Classical Greek, Turkish and Indigenous Languages. In each language there were twice as many male teachers as females, although this involved small numbers of teachers.

Secondary: Teachers

Amongst secondary LOTE teachers, 70.0% were fully qualified, having completed either:

• A three year post-VCE major sequence or a four year beginners sequence at tertiary level in the language they were teaching (or had a statement of equivalence from a Victorian university), as well as an approved LOTE teaching method, including theory and practicum; or

• A two year post-VCE sequence or a three year beginners tertiary

language sequence. (These were acceptable secondary LOTE teaching qualifications for teachers entering the profession up to the beginning of 1996. Such teachers are deemed to be qualified provided they have had continuing employment with the Department of Education since that time.)

Secondary: Teachers

As opposed to the patterns in primary schools, only two teachers taught the same language in two different colleges, 13 teachers taught two different languages within the same college, while two teachers taught two different languages at two different schools. Seventy point seven per cent (70.7%) of teachers were employed full time, with 29.3% of teachers employed part time. The average time teaching LOTE per week for full time teachers was 11.5 hours, while the average time teaching LOTE per week for part time teachers was 7.7 hours per week.

Secondary: Regional

Regional Provision of LOTE In 2006, 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 dramatic decrease at the Year 9 level in regional schools where approximately twice as many students in metropolitan areas studied a language. Overall, 51.8% of students studied a LOTE in metropolitan areas, while the percentage of students in regional areas studying a LOTE decreased from 46.2% to 40.9% in 2006. Overall, 10.2% of Year 11 and 12 students in metropolitan areas studied a LOTE in 2006, similar to 2005 figures. In regional areas, 7.5% of Year 11 and 12 students studied a LOTE, down from 8.0% in 2005.

German recorded the highest student numbers in the Grampians Region. This continues trends noted in 2005. In the metropolitan regions, Italian had the highest overall enrolments, although in Eastern and Southern Metropolitan Regions, French recorded the highest percentage of students. Italian continued to record the highest percentage of students in the Western and Northern Metropolitan Regions. Secondary colleges in the Gippsland Region offered five different languages in 2006, while those in the Western, Southern and Northern Metropolitan Region offered the most languages, with thirteen languages.

Secondary: VSL

Victorian School of Languages In 2006, the VSL provided language programs through its 38 centres (29 in the metropolitan area and 9 in regional areas) and made a significant contribution to the range of languages offered across Victoria. Secondary students studied 39 of the 40 languages offered by the VSL, with Cantonese the only language not studied at the secondary level. The VSL, along with community languages schools, provide formal study to VCE level for many of the smaller cohort languages not available in mainstream schools. The VSL caters for students from government, Catholic and independent schools who wish to develop their home or heritage language, who are seeking continuity in LOTE study after changing schools, or who wish to learn a new language. Lessons are generally provided outside regular school hours, usually on Saturday mornings, and are of typically of three hours duration. A total of 8,618 students from all educational sectors were enrolled at the secondary level at the VSL in 2006, a decrease of 196 from 2005. Secondary enrolments of government school students accounted for 66.1% of enrolments at the VSL (5,700 students). The Distance Education component continued to be an important component of LOTE provision. Students studying through Distance Education represented 18.3% of VSL enrolments in 2006.

Secondary: VSL

As can be seen from Table 2.10, Chinese has the highest enrolment of government school students, and Turkish and Vietnamese both have more than 500 enrolments. When figures from both government and non-government schools are considered, enrolments for Japanese and French also increase above 500 students as shown in Figure 2.26 below.

Figure 2.26 Secondary enrolments at the VSL, all sectors for 2006. For details of languages listed under ‘Other’ see Appendix 2, Table 3.16.

The proportion of students from different education systems varied considerably between languages. Of the 12 languages with the highest enrolments, as is depicted in Figures 2.27 and 2.28, Spanish was the only language where enrolments from non-government schools were higher than those from government schools. The highest number of Catholic school students were studying Vietnamese, while the highest number of independent school students were studying Chinese.

Secondary: Distance Education

Distance Education Section of the Victorian School of Languages The Distance Education Section of the Victorian School of Languages continued to offer programs in Chinese, 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 to those not currently attending a school. Eighteen point three per cent (18.3%) of all secondary students enrolled at the VSL were studying a LOTE through Distance Education. Student enrolments in Distance Education increased considerably from 1,269 in 2005 to 1,574 in 2006. Enrolments in all languages increased except for Greek, which fell slightly. The largest increases in enrolments were seen in Spanish which increased from 22 to 41 students, Indonesian, which increased from 173 to 242 and French, which increased from 302 to 408. Table 2.11 shows enrolment figures for each of the languages by year level, while Figure 2.29 shows trends in distance education enrolments since 2000.

Primary: Telematics

Telematics Telematics, or the provision of LOTE classes through visual and audio links such as video, computers, conferencing, facsimile and telephone, played a minimal role for secondary college students in 2006. Student enrolments increased to 11 students in three schools in 2006. The eleven students studied French, Italian and German.

Appendix 1

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 DoE recommends that LOTE programs be undertaken for a minimum of 150 minutes per week. From 2006, the Commonwealth definition of a LOTE program will include all programs that run for a minimum of 60 minutes per week. Bilingual/immersion Programs (formerly called content-based 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. Language and Cultural Awareness Programs These programs introduce limited vocabulary and aspects of society, language and culture. This includes all programs less than 60 minutes per week; all programs that run for less than 30 weeks per year; ‘taster’ programs where students study more than one language during the year; and all programs that are not included in the groups above. 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.

Table 3.2 Number and percentage of primary schools with LOTE programs by year level, 2000 - 2006.

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.
