Description

The objectives of this review of multicultural and migrant education in Australia were to survey nationally current activities; assess whether programs can be improved and, if so, make recommendations for change; and identify areas requiring further research. The review covers the following topics: (1) patterns of Australian multiculturalism; (2) issues of education in a multicultural society, with discussion of teaching English as a second language, teaching of community languages, and studies of ethnic and cultural diversity; (3) community views on multicultural education; (4) discussion of relevant activities in government, Catholic, and non-Catholic independent schools; (5) the role of ethnic schools; (6) how tertiary institutions contribute to multicultural and migrant education through teaching community languages, preparing teachers of English as a Second language, and courses in cultural and ethnic diversity.; (7) issues of adult migrant education including home tutoring, courses in industry, and English teaching by television; and (8) what the government support structures are for multicultural education. Recommendations for action are made where clearly applicable and areas for further research are identified. A summary of conclusions and recommendations is included as well as a listing of contributors. (CG)
