Title:	2006: Languages other than English (LOTE)
Authors:	Le@rning Federation, The
Issue Date:	24-Jul-2006
Abstract:	Languages other than English (LOTE): Chinese, Japanese and Indonesian learning objects online curriculum content is designed to produce high-quality digital learning resources and online tools to help students in years P–10 learn Chinese, Japanese and Indonesian. There are two components to this release of LOTE online content: Cracking the code and Close encounters. The Cracking the code set of learning objects helps students to learn and use the Chinese and Japanese character-based writing systems. Character-based systems are hard to learn for students use to alphabet-based systems like English. Based on recent National Asian Languages and Studies for Australian Schools (NALSAS) research, these resources aim to enhance students’ understanding of the Chinese and Japanese writing systems through analysis and interaction rather than simply memorisation. In the Close encounters set of learning objects students use the target language (Chinese, Japanese or Indonesian) to communicate and interact in authentic activities that portray the socio-cultural characteristics of the target country. The learning objects incorporate a range of rich multimedia with spoken dialogue enabling immersive intercultural language learning experiences not easily generated by students and teachers in the classroom. The learning object scenarios also offer opportunities for teachers and students to integrate other complementary and contributory online and offline activities.
