Ep #025 - The Language Learning Landscape in Australia: how it’s changed for adults and independent learners
About this Language Chat
Technology, access to resources, and motivations to learn a new language have completely changed in the three decades since Australia’s National Policy of Languages was written. In this episode, we chat about what these changes mean for adult independent learners today, plus the power of online communities for support, motivation and inspiration. We also lament the lack of public profile people celebrating their bilingualism - and mention a few names you might not even know speak a second language!
Stay tuned for further episodes about the Language Learning Landscape in Australia - we have plenty to say on this topic! What are your observations? Let us know your thoughts!
