DESCRIPTORS *Bilingual Education; Educational Policy; Elementary Secondary Education; Foreign Countries; *German; Higher Education; Language Attitudes; Language Maintenance; Language Role; *Second Language Learning; Second Language Programs; *Second Languages; Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Australia ABSTRACT This work is one in a series that focuses on nine languages representing the bulk of the second language learning effort in Au' ralian education (Arabic, Modern Standard Chinese, French, German, Modern Greek, Indonesian/Malay, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish). These languages were categorized as the Languages of Wider Teaching. Key areas addressed in this profile include:(1) the place of German in Australian education;(2) issues in the teaching of German including teacher preservice training, language proficiency among teachers of German, and teachers' concerns about the delivery of German language programs;(3) sociolinguistic data on the German-speaking community in Australia; and (4) German as a world language. Findings show that the position of German in Australian education is relatively strong. Numbers of students enrolled in German language courses are on the rise, and availability of German as a Language Other Than English (LOTE) in primary, secondary, and tertiary education is also increasing. Some problematic issues affecting German in Australian education are discussed and recommendations are offered. Appendices contain a bibliography, a list of scholarships and in-country education, a list of individuals consulted, and an attitudinal survey form. (Contains 101 references.)

I trust everyone had a satisfying break in preparation for this important term. Throughout the holidays, many students actively prepared for the academic and co-curricular rigours of Term 4. The BGS Track and Field boys prepared for their season with a holiday training camp, while others started pre- season training ahead of Term 1 2020. Students also embarked on their Public Purpose expeditions in Cambodia and Kokoda. Thank you to all staff and students who participated in these activities over the break. Your commitment to the School is appreciated. Working together to achieve a common goal is the essence of being human – it is knowing and feeling that you belong to something special. As we start Term 4, I congratulate the student body for rounding out Term 3 admirably. The boys maintained decorum and behaved respectfully while completing assessments and co-curricular responsibilities to high standards. I also thank the Year 12 cohort for conducting themselves appropriately at the formal. The Class of 2019 was in good spirits and gentlemanly in their manner. I hope the boys have returned from their holiday well rested and ready for a relatively short and constructive term. It is important for every student to see this term as a down payment on further academic success rather than a slide into holidays.

    "Ich Höre Gern Diesen Dialekt, Erinnert Mich an Meine Urlaube in Kärnten

    "Ich höre gern diesen Dialekt, erinnert mich an meine Urlaube in Kärnten ... ": A survey of the usage and the popularity of Austrian dialects in Vienna John Bellamy (Manchester) A survey of over 200 Austrians was undertaken in Vienna to investigate the extent to which they say they use dialect. They were asked if they speak dialect and if they do, in which situations they would switch to using predominantly Hochsprache. The responses have been analysed according to age, gender, birthplace (in Austria) and occupation to find out if the data reveals underlying correlations, especially to see if there have been any developments of note since earlier studies (for example, Steinegger 1995). The same group of informants were also asked about their opinions of Austrian dialects in general and this paper details their answers along with the reasons behind their positive or negative responses in this regard. The data collected during this survey will be compared to other contemporary investigations (particularly Soukup 2009) in an effort to obtain a broader view of dialect usage and attitudes towards dialect in Vienna and its environs. Since a very similar study was undertaken at the same time in the UK (Manchester) with more or less the same questions, the opportunity presents itself to compare dialect usage in the area in and around Vienna with regional accents and usage in the urban area of Manchester. References will be made during the course of the presentation to both sets of data. Language planning in Europe during the long 19th century: The selection of the standard language in Norway and Flanders Els Belsack (VU Brussel) The long 19th century (1794-1914) is considered to be the century of language planning par excellence.

  • The Married Woman, the Teaching Profession and the State in Victoria, 1872-1956

    The Married Woman, the Teaching Profession and the State in Victoria, 1872-1956

    THE MARRIED WOMAN, THE TEACHING PROFESSION AND THE STATE IN VICTORIA, 1872-1956 Donna Dwyer B.A., Dip. Ed. (Monash), Dip. Crim., M.Ed. (Melb.) Submitted in fulfilmentof the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Educafion at The University of Melbourne 2002 , . Abstract This thesis is a study of married women's teaching labour in the Victorian Education Department. It looks at the rise to power of married women teachers, the teaching matriarchs. in the 1850s and 1860s in early colonial Victoria when married women teachers were valued for the moral propriety their presence brought to the teaching of female pupils. In 1872 the newly created Victorian Education Department would herald a new regime and the findings of the Rogers Templeton Commission spell doom for married women teachers. The thesis traces their expulsion from the service under the 1889 Public Service Act implementing the marriage bar. The labyrinthine legislation that followed the passing of the Public Service Act 1889 defies adequate explanation but the outcome was clear. For the next sixty-seven years the bar would remain in place, condemning the 'needy' married woman teacher to life as an itinerant temporary teacher at the mercy of the Department. The irony was that this sometimes took place under 'liberal' administrators renowned for their reformist policies. When married women teachers returned in considerable numbers during the Second World War, they were supported in their claim for reinstatement by women unionists in the Victorian Teachers' Union (VTU). In the 1950s married women temporary teachers, members of the VTU, took up the fight, forming the Temporary Teachers' Club (TIC) to press home their claims.
