How much time is needed to implement the LOTE standards effectively in schools?
The recommendations of ‘Languages for Victoria’s Future’ which can be found at the Sofweb website are consistent with the requirements to deliver a program that meets the standards. It is not possible to demonstrate the achievement of the Level 4 standards at the end of Grade 6 with a limited time allocation such as 30-minutes a week. Teachers are advised to refer to the recommendations mentioned above when planning LOTE programs.
