PREFACE Comprehensive data about the provision of languages education in Victorian government schools has been collected centrally and published since 1991 by the Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET). This report provides an analysis of the provision of languages education in 2019 in Victorian government schools, including the Victorian School of Languages (VSL). It also includes data about the provision of languages education in accredited community language schools (CLS) funded by DET in 2019. The report does not include data about the provision of languages education in non-government schools. All Victorian schools are required by legislation and as a condition of their registration with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority to provide instruction in the eight learning areas, including Languages. In 2019, 20 languages were taught in mainstream government primary and secondary schools, with Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, Japanese, Indonesian, French, Auslan, Spanish and German the most-studied languages across primary and secondary schools. In 2019, 1,279 (88.6 percent) of government primary and secondary schools offered language programs to a total of 432,044 students across primary and secondary schools. A further 2,631 students were enrolled in taster programs at the secondary level. A taster program exposes students to a range of languages for a short period before they select one language for ongoing study. In addition, the VSL provided out-of-school-hours and distance education programs in 53 languages to 19,267 students who could not access their language of choice in their mainstream school. Accredited CLS also provided out- of-school-hours programs in 45 languages to a total of 38,730 students. Students who attended the VSL and CLS may also have studied a language at a government or non-government mainstream school. In total, students in Victoria studied 72 languages through government schools, the VSL and CLS in 2019. Appendix 1 contains a list of the 72 languages by education provider. The 2019 report includes a long-term (1997-2019) overview of trends in the provision of languages education in government schools (Figure 1.6). This table shows the trends in the number of primary and secondary schools providing a language program. Figure 1.7 shows the trends in the number of primary and secondary students learning a language from 1997-2019.

1. OVERVIEW OF LANGUAGES EDUCATION IN 2019
The following analysis provides an overview of the current state of languages education and highlights the differing patterns in the study of languages at the primary and secondary levels. It also reviews languages education in Victorian government primary and secondary schools over the last seven years.
VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS This report considers data collected in August 2019, from 1,444 government schools in Victoria. Across these schools, 1,202 offered primary-level schooling and 323 schools offered secondary-level schooling. English language schools, special schools and a small number of other schools exempt from this survey are not included in this figure, nor are they considered in this report. It should be noted that the number of government schools changes slightly each year. For example, data from 1,454 schools was considered in the 2012 report. This number decreased to 1,427 schools in 2017 but rose to 1,444 government schools in 2019. Therefore, for the purpose of clarity, percentages as well as numerical data are provided in some tables and figures (e.g. Figure 1.2).
TYPES OF LANGUAGE PROGRAMS Language programs are delivered in Victorian schools as: • separate subject programs • Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programs • bilingual programs • VET/VCAL language programs. Languages taught as a separate subject Traditionally, languages are taught as a separate subject, particularly in secondary schools. Most language programs delivered in Victorian government schools are taught as a separate subject. These programs focus on the teaching and learning of the target language and understanding the connections between language and culture. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programs CLIL programs combine teaching content from a curriculum area with the explicit teaching of the target language. Content may include all or part of one or more curriculum areas. In a CLIL program, students gain knowledge of the curricular subject (for example, Science) while simultaneously learning and using the target language (for example, Italian). Bilingual programs Bilingual programs offer a partial immersion bilingual education, where students are immersed in a classroom where the curriculum is taught in or through the language for more than 450 minutes per week. Bilingual programs in Victorian government schools include the Designated Bilingual Programs and the French Binational Programs at Caulfield Junior College and Auburn High School.

VET/VCAL language programs VET/VCAL language programs provide secondary students the opportunity to develop routine oral and written communication in the language in a range of standard social and workplace situations.
Table 1.1 and Table 1.2 show the number of students in government primary and secondary schools who participated in each of these program types in 2019.

LANGUAGE PROGRAMS IN VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS In 2019, 1,279 (87.4 percent) of 1,444 government schools in Victoria offered language programs. A total of 432,044 students (70.2 percent of all students) were enrolled in these programs. Of these, 2,631 students were enrolled in taster programs at the secondary level where they studied two languages. There were also 19,267 enrolments at the VSL, bringing the total number of enrolments in language programs in 2019 to 453,942 (Table 1.3). Twenty languages were taught in mainstream government schools in 2019, while 53 languages were studied through the VSL. Table 1.3 provides a summary of enrolments in Victorian government primary and secondary schools, as well as all enrolments at the VSL (including through distance education), for 2019. Note that at the secondary level, students studying more than one language through taster programs are counted for each language in which they are enrolled. Hence, Table 1.4 represents student enrolment figures, not the number of students studying a language.

LONG-TERM OVERVIEW FOR LANGUAGES PROVISION DET has collected and published data on the provision of languages education in Victorian government schools since 1991. This data enables the Department to monitor enrolment trends by language, year level and language teaching time. Figure 1.6 shows the trend in the number of government schools providing a language program over the twenty-three-year period from 1997 to 2019. Figure 1.6 shows that the decline in the number of schools providing a language program, particularly at the primary level reversed sharply from 2012, with some recent fluctuations. However, despite the significant increase in the number of primary schools providing a language program, there remain ongoing challenges in ensuring that all Foundation to Year 10 students have access to quality language programs. This includes ensuring the sustainability of language programs, particularly in small rural schools, strengthening primary to secondary school language pathways and increasing the time on task. Figure 1.7 shows student enrolments in language programs have also significantly increased at the primary level over the last six years, indicating that while some schools are working through issues of program continuity, many schools are expanding their existing programs. Student enrolments at the secondary level have remained relatively stable over the same period, with an upward trend in enrolments in 2019. In 2019, 19.1 percent of students who graduated from a government secondary school had completed a VCE Unit 4 Language study (Table 4.5). This commitment to languages education at the senior secondary level was demonstrated across all schools in Victoria, with 22.5 percent of students across government, Catholic and independent schools graduating from Year 12 with a Language study in 2019. This includes the study of a language through a mainstream school, the VSL, a CLS, as well as students who completed their schooling through the International Baccalaureate (IB) program in a Victorian school (Data source: DET, the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) and IB Australasia).

LANGUAGES TAUGHT As noted above, seventeen languages were taught in government primary schools in 2019 (Table 3.4), with primary school students also studying a further 35 languages through the VSL. Overall, students at the primary level studied a total of 52 languages in mainstream schools and/or through the VSL in 2019. See Tables 1.1 and 3.4 for full details. The eight most-studied languages at the primary level were Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, Japanese, Indonesian, French, Auslan, Spanish and German. These eight languages accounted for 97.6 percent of enrolments in government primary schools (see Table 3.4). The other languages studied in government primary schools, in order of highest to lowest enrolments, were Aboriginal languages, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Greek, Turkish, Arabic, Macedonian and Portuguese. Figure 3.5 provides a proportional representation of languages enrolments in government primary schools, while Figure 3.6 provides a trend analysis of enrolments since 2013 for the six most-studied languages in 2019.

4. DETAILED FINDINGS: VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT SECONDARY SCHOOLS
SCHOOLS In 2019, 280 secondary schools, 86.7 percent, provided a language program. Figure 4.1 shows the percentage of secondary schools with a language program by year levels from 2013 to 2019. Of the secondary schools that offered a language program in 2019, 38.6 percent provided a continuous program from Years 7 to 12, enabling students the opportunity to study a language through to completion of school. A further 10.3 percent of schools offered a language program from Years 7 to 10 or Years 7 to 11 (Figure 4.2).

Nineteen languages were taught in government secondary schools in 2019. The number of schools offering a language at the secondary levels as well as the number of language programs remained relatively stable. Note that the Hebrew program offered in 2018 was no longer offered in 2019 (see Table 4.1 for further details).

*As a percentage of government secondary schools with a language program. Note that some schools offered more than one language.
STUDENTS In 2019, 43.3 percent or 102,826 students studied a language in government secondary schools (Table 4.2 and Figure 4.4). A further 2,631 enrolments represented students who studied more than one language through taster programs (where students are exposed to a range of languages for a short period before they select one language for ongoing study), bringing the total number of languages enrolments to 105,457 (Table 4.3). Overall, the number of students studying a language increased by 5.0 percent (from 97,955 to 102,826 students) between 2018 and 2019. See Table 4.2 and Figure 4.3 for further detail.
Department of Education and Training 42
Note that in Figures 4.3, 4.4 and Table 4.2, students are only counted once (102,826 students). All other tables and figures in this section contain information on the number of enrolments in language programs (105,457 enrolments). Enrolment figures double count students who are studying more than one language through taster programs. Eleven secondary schools offered taster courses in 2019, where, for example, students studied two languages for twenty weeks each per year. It is also important to note that the Year 12 enrolment figures in this section count students enrolled in Year 12 who are studying a language. However, a large number of students complete a Unit 4 Language study before they are actually enrolled in Year 12. These students are not included in Year 12 figures in this section. The section, VCE Languages Study, explains this discrepancy and provides further details about the study of languages through to the Year 12 (Unit 4) level amongst graduating students.

LANGUAGES TAUGHT Nineteen languages were taught in secondary schools in 2019 (Table 4.3), with secondary school students also studying a further 33 languages through the VSL (of a total of 50 languages available at the VSL), including via distance education. Overall, students at secondary schools studied a total of 52 languages through schools and/or the VSL in 2019. See Tables 1.1 and 4.3 for details. Languages study patterns differ at the primary and secondary level. However, in 2019 the eight most-studied languages at both levels were the same: French, Japanese, Italian, Indonesian, Chinese (Mandarin), German, Spanish and Auslan. These eight languages accounted for 97.8 percent of enrolments at the secondary level. The other languages studied, in order of enrolments, were Greek, Vietnamese, Latin, Arabic, Hindi, Macedonian, Turkish, Persian, Aboriginal Languages, Korean and Classical Greek.

Retention rates Table 4.4 looks at retention rates of language students between Years 7 and 12. It includes the same cohort of students enrolled in Year 7 in 2014 and in Year 12 in 2019. At Year 7, Indonesian, Italian, French and Japanese were the most- studied languages, but at Year 12, proportional enrolments in Italian and Indonesian had decreased significantly. This trend was countered by a significant increase in proportional enrolments in Chinese (Mandarin), which is largely due to an increase in the number of students in Chinese (Mandarin) as a First Language programs at the senior secondary level (Table 4.4). An increase in the proportion of French enrolments is also observed, and Japanese enrolments remain relatively consistent. While German and Greek had proportionately lower enrolments at Year 7, retention rates for these languages typically remain strong.

VCE LANGUAGES STUDY VCE (Years 11 & 12) enrolment figures in Tables 4.2 and 4.3 refer to students who are studying languages at each year level. However, the flexible nature of the Victorian curriculum results in many students completing a language study before they enrol in Year 12. While Table 4.3 (above) indicates that 2,346 Year 12 students studied a language in 2019, it is important to note that over 2,300 Year 12 students had either already completed a language study or were continuing a language study with the VSL or through a CLS. Although Table 4.2 (above) indicates that 7.2 percent of students enrolled in Year 12 were completing Unit 4 in a language study, this figure rises considerably once we consider government secondary school students who completed a language study (Unit 4) at an earlier year level or outside of regular school classes through the VSL or through a CLS. Among government school students who were eligible to graduate in 2019, 19.1 percent had completed a language study either through their school, through the VSL (including via distance education) or through a CLS. This data was provided by the VCAA. Table 4.5 lists the most-studied languages by students who graduated from VCE in 2019, as well as figures for previous years going back to 2013.

From 2016, the percentage of language students has been calculated against the number of ‘students who graduated from VCE’. Prior to 2016, calculations were made on ‘students eligible to graduate from VCE’.

Snapshot of students who graduated from VCE in 2019 (students from Victorian government schools) and the languages studied Table 4.6 provides information about the students who graduated in 2019 having completed a language study during their senior secondary schooling, including students who finished a language study when enrolled in Year 10, Year 11 or Year 12. Overall, a majority of students (55.6 percent) completed a Unit 4 language study when they were enrolled in Year 12. A further 41.2 percent of students completed a Unit 4 language study when they were enrolled in Year 11, while the remaining 3.2 percent completed a Unit 4 language study when they were enrolled in Year 10.

CONTACT TIME The average contact time for language programs varied at each year level and across schools (see Figure 4.7). The time allocated to languages study also varied from school to school. In 2019, 79.4 percent of Year 7 language students, 82.6 percent of Year 8 language students and 95.3 percent of Year 9 language students were in programs of 120 minutes or more per week. At Years 10, 11 and 12, 79.8 percent, 97.5 percent and 98.1 percent of students respectively, studied a language for 180 minutes or more per week.

REGIONAL PROVISION OF LANGUAGES In 2019, seven languages were offered in all four Victorian regions. Italian was the most-studied language in the SWV and NWV regions, while French was the most-studied language in the NEV and SEV regions. Japanese was also widely studied with high enrolments in the SWV, SEV, and to a lesser extent, NEV regions (Table 4.7).

5. TEACHERS OF LANGUAGES IN VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS
In 2019, there were 1,891 qualified language teachers teaching in Victorian government schools. Among these language teachers, more than 140 taught in more than one school. These teachers predominantly taught at two schools, but some teachers taught at up to eight schools through the blended delivery of programs, and often both at the primary and secondary levels. In instances where teachers taught at more than one school, the majority of these schools were government schools, although many of these teachers also worked across two jurisdictions, particularly those working in regional and rural contexts. This included teaching in the VSL, in Catholic and independent schools, in schools in New South Wales (i.e. school communities along state borders) and in CLS. Figure 5.1 provides data on the distribution of teachers across primary and secondary schools, and schools covering both primary and secondary levels.

6. DESIGNATED BILINGUAL PROGRAMS IN VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS
In 2019, twelve schools were provided additional funding as part of the Designated Bilingual Program to offer a partial immersion bilingual education, where students are immersed into a classroom in which the curriculum is taught for between a minimum of 30% and 50% in the target language (Table 6.1). Bilingual education utilises two languages as means of instruction for students, providing them with the opportunity to learn curriculum content in, and through, both English and a target language. Schools in the Designated Bilingual Program offer strong models of bilingual education, leading to biliteracy learning in students that demonstrate high levels of sociocultural, linguistic, academic and cognitive outcomes. Language teachers who offer bilingual education are suitably qualified teachers with native or near native level of language proficiency able to deliver the Victorian curriculum in the target language.

7. THE VICTORIAN SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES (VSL)
The VSL is a government school which provides out-of-school-hours programs for students from government and non-government schools who cannot access the language of their choice in their mainstream school. Programs are provided outside regular school hours, usually on Saturday mornings, and are typically of three hours’ duration. In 2019, the VSL offered 53 languages through its 44 centres in both metropolitan and regional areas, including through distance education. In total, 19,267 students from Foundation to Year 12 were enrolled to study a language through the VSL in 2019 (including enrolments via distance education). Of these, 11,016 were primary students and 8,251 were secondary students. In 2019, Zomi was offered for the first time since 2015 (see Table 7.1). Distance education continued to provide an important avenue for language studies, with enrolments in distance education representing 20 percent of secondary VSL enrolments in 2019. All figures referring to the VSL in this section include enrolments through distance education. Further details on distance education are available in the Distance Education Provision at the Victorian School of Languages section. Figure 7.1 provides a comparison of all VSL enrolments from 2013 to 2019 at the primary and secondary levels.

Table 7.1 sets out the total VSL enrolments for each language by year level. Forty-seven of the languages taught at the VSL were studied at both the primary and secondary levels, while Chinese (Cantonese) and Dinka were only studied at the primary level and Classical Greek, Filipino, Indonesian and Latin were only studied at the secondary level. The six most-studied languages overall were Chinese (Mandarin), Punjabi, Vietnamese, Japanese, Hindi and Arabic. Together, these six languages accounted for slightly over half of total enrolments (50.8 percent) at the VSL, with the remaining students spread over a wide range of languages.

In keeping with past trends, there were noticeable differences in patterns of enrolments between the primary and secondary levels across languages. Some community languages such as Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Swahili, Tamil, Urdu and Zomi, for example, had stronger enrolments at the primary level than at the secondary level, although most community languages had fairly even enrolments across both levels. By contrast, other languages such as Japanese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian and Persian had a higher proportion of enrolments at the secondary level. Figure 7.2 represents the proportions of primary and secondary students enrolled at the VSL who attended government and non-government schools.

DISTANCE EDUCATION PROVISION AT THE VICTORIAN SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES In 2019, the VSL provided Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Classical Greek, German, Greek, Hindi French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Latin, and Spanish, by distance education to secondary students wishing to study a language which was not offered at their mainstream school, and to home- schooled secondary students. Of all secondary students enrolled at the VSL in 2019, 1,654 students, or 20 percent, were studying a language through distance education (Table 7.2). Figure 7.3 indicates enrolments in the six most-studied languages through distance education between 2013 and 2019.

8. COMMUNITY LANGUAGE SCHOOLS (CLS)
CLS programs are administered by incorporated community-based, not-for- profit organisations, which are accredited for funding by DET. CLS provide language programs that are complementary to those provided by mainstream schools and the VSL. CLS provide programs to students from Foundation to Year 12 (depending on the language) outside mainstream school hours; i.e. after school or on weekends. In 2019, 181 accredited CLS in Victoria offered language programs in 45 languages to 38,730 primary and secondary students (as funded by DET). Table 8.1 provides CLS enrolments at the primary and secondary level, by language.
