About the Centre
Welcome to the Centre for Teaching Asian Languages and Cultures
The Centre for Teaching Asian Languages and Cultures works across the School of Education and the School of International and Political Studies to coordinate the delivery of teaching Languages Other Than English (LOTE) programs and language programs. Building on Deakin University’s extensive experience in teacher education and its strong language programs in Indonesian Chinese and Arabic, the Centre’s aim is to build effective partnerships in order to increase teacher supply and enhance the quality of Asian languages education.
We work in partnership with primary and secondary school teachers to provide transformational professional learning opportunities, and to support the development of whole-school approaches to the teaching and learning of Asian languages. We also develop practical curriculum resources and materials for teachers to use in their classrooms.
