Creating Australia’s first comprehensive language policy: A chat with Prof Joseph Lo Bianco
Our guest for this episode is Joseph Lo Bianco, Professor Emeritus of Language and Literacy Education at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.
We were delighted to have the opportunity to speak with Joe about his career and work on language, culture and literacy education in Australia and around the world. Among many other interesting research projects and advisory roles, in the late 1980s he wrote The National Policy on Languages, Australia’s first explicit and comprehensive language policy, and the first multilingual national language policy in an English speaking country.
Tune in and let us know your thoughts! Join the Language Lovers AU Community on Facebook to take part in the conversation or get in touch with us here.
