DEST Conclusion on the Current Model of Provision
Appropriateness of the current model of provision
"Given the questions and concerns that have been raised in relation to LOTE, it is appropriate to ask whether the current model of provision can ever produce better results in terms of language learning, regardless of the amount of funding that is injected into it."
"Changing this situation must focus attention on changing attitudes. A key policy consideration must therefore encompass understanding what shapes peoples’ attitudes to LOTE, and how they can be provided with compelling and tangible evidence of the benefits of students acquiring substantial second language competence."
