Language Other Than English (LOTE) (Aboriginal Languages) enables students to develop communication skills, to focus on languages as systems and to understand the relationship between language, culture and land, leading to lifelong personal, educational and vocational benefits.
For Aboriginal students the aim also includes increasing self-esteem through an enhanced understanding of their linguistic heritage and an ability to communicate in (an) ancestral language(s); assisting them to obtain skills in language revitalisation that can be used to enhance long-term cultural revival in their local Aboriginal community; and increasing the links between schools, student learning and community language revival in their local Aboriginal community.
