The Professional Standards Project

is a nationally coordinated professional learning programme for languages teachers, to improve the quality of languages teaching and thereby improve the learning outcomes of students. It is based on the use of the Professional standards for accomplished teaching of languages and cultures (‘the Standards’) as a framework. (These Standards are available at http://www.afmlta.asn.au/afmlta/Standards%20for%20teachers.pdf )

The project will be developed and implemented by the AFMLTA with the MLTAs of all States and Territories and the Research Centre for Languages and Cultures Education (RCLCE) at the University of South Australia.

A minimum of 400 teachers nationally will participate across both streams. The target group is teachers of all languages (including Indigenous languages) across Australia, in all sectors, across all levels of experience, and including those in mainstream schools, Government Schools of Languages, distance education, and ethnic/community schools. The materials and professional learning programme developed will be relevant to all languages and programmes.  All participants in the professional learning will have to be a member of the MLTA in their state or territory.

Please see the brochure for more information.

MLTAV

In supporting teachers of languages, the MLTAV has developed an 'Advocacy' section of our website http://www.mltav.asn.au/advocacy. The resources available here are intended primarily for use by teachers in promoting Languages Other Than English programs, especially in the context of presenting persuasive arguments for the teaching and learning of languages to school curriculum committees, principals and parents
