The Place and Importance for Languages Other Than English in Australia’S National Interest From ancient to modern: the place and importance for languages other than English in Australia’s national interest by Jennifer Joan Baldwin BA, BTheol, Grad Dip Career Devpt, M Appl Ling Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies of the University of Melbourne March 2015 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis investigates the history of language offerings at the tertiary level in Australian institutions from the beginnings of university education with the founding of the University of Sydney in 1851. It argues that the successive influences of British university traditions, Federation, Australia’s growing political and economic engagement with the wider world, and Australia’s developing identity as a multicultural and multilingual nation, are reflected in the introduction and maintenance of languages other than English into Australian university curricula. This historical analysis has drawn upon archival, government and oral sources and scholarly literature on higher education with an emphasis on languages within the tertiary sector from the period of expansion and reform after World War Two. The thesis contends that the evolving politics and perceptions of ‘the national interest’ have been dominant influences on the establishment of language policies and government funding decisions regarding language teaching. Certain languages have been introduced at different times taking into account the prevailing circumstances of Australia’s global economy, its trade relationships, its diplomatic ties and its security and defence imperatives as well as domestic concerns. The concept of national interest has, more broadly, been variously defined by governments, universities and interest groups in relation to both the teaching of specific languages and the collective educational and vocational value of language teaching within tertiary education at different times in the history of Australia. The thesis surveys the place of language instruction in Australian colonial and post-Federation universities where British university traditions prescribing the place of classical (Latin, Ancient Greek) and modern languages (French, German, Italian) within a liberal education were influential in Australia. It then turns to the increasing involvement of the Federal government in the expansion of the university sector from the mid-twentieth century. The post-World War Two emphasis on research and technological education was to influence curriculum and the inclusion of language teaching. Demographic change within the Australian population as a result of large-scale migration meant that the nation was increasingly multilingual and by the 1970s the policy of multiculturalism was officially introduced. Both Federal governments and universities increasingly acknowledged the languages of migrant communities, as these communities lobbied to retain their cultural heritage, including tertiary language teaching. The role of philanthropic donations to support ‘community languages,’ such as Yiddish and Ukrainian, is evaluated in this context. i The thesis then turns to the influences of international trade and foreign policy on language teaching, most notably in relation to Australia’s increasing engagement with the Asian region. The emphasis on trade meant that successive governments from the 1980s have variously supported the teaching of languages that were seen to advance Australia’s economic interests, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Indonesian. Nevertheless there were some languages, such as Arabic which while of national economic and cultural significance, have not received the same level of government or institutional support. By the 1980s and 1990s, reform to the national tertiary sector and increased budgetary strains were to have an impact on the range of language offerings in Australian universities. This has resulted in an increasing reliance on philanthropic funds to enable languages to be taught where neither government nor university funding was forthcoming. The thesis concludes by outlining how university language academics and educators have been involved in public discussions about the continuation of the teaching of, and research into, specific languages as well as all languages other than English, not just those perceived to be in the economic national interest. ii Declaration This is to certify that: (i) The thesis comprises only my original work (ii) Due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used (iii) The thesis is less than 100,225 words in length, exclusive of tables, bibliographies and appendices.
