Abstract: Cet ouvrage collectif et bilingue anglais/français s’avère tout à fait inédit tant dans son contenu que dans sa forme. Il ne s’agit pas de textes traduits du français vers l’anglais et inversement mais d’une proposition de voyage conceptuel dans deux langues de travail qui ont médié les échanges de ce collectif de chercheurs en didactique des langues tout en accueillant les autres langues en présence (notamment le japonais, l’indonésien, l’arabe, l’allemand) qui ont chacune également apporté leurs nuances et leurs renversements de perspective. This bilingual English/French collective work is original in both its content and its form. It is not just an instance of texts translated from French into English and vice versa, but of a conceptual journey in two working languages which have mediated the exchanges of a group of researchers in language teaching and learning, that opened up to and welcomed the other languages present (notably Japanese, Indonesian, Arabic, German) which have each contributed their nuances and changes of perspective.

Abstract: In the Australian education context, there are typically two cohorts of language learners at the secondary school level, those who commence their study of the target language early in their primary schooling (early starters), and those who commence their study later, at the beginning of secondary school (late starters). The two groups may have undertaken their language study under quite different program conditions, in particular in relation to “time-on-task” i . There is little empirical evidence about the nature of student achievement in languages at the end of primary and in junior secondary and its relationship to time-on-task. This paper compares the achievements of a s le of early and late start students of Indonesian in Australia using score data gathered from common measures of achievement. In addition, a small s le of student written responses are analysed in order to highlight issues related to eliciting and describing student achievement that may not be evident from the quantitative data alone. The findings of the study reveal the nature of achievement by early and late starters of Indonesian in the SAALE study, as well as the complexity of investigating a single variable such as time-on-task in relation to student achievement. The paper concludes by recommending that assessment of student achievement in language learning take into consideration methodologies that may capture more holistically a constellation of variables that impact on students’ language learning.

Abstract: Since the introduction of Indonesian in the 1950s, the nature and extent of programs for studying the language in Australian schools has varied significantly. A decade on from the national report on the state of Indonesian language education in Australian schools that indicated a substantial decline in provision ( Kohler & Mahnken, 2010 ), it is timely to take stock and consider how Indonesian is faring and why. This paper reports on a mixed methods study exploring the state and nature of Indonesian language provision in government schools in Australia. The findings indicate that while some decline continues overall, patterns of provision vary, particularly at different levels of schooling. The findings highlight the need for a nuanced understanding of the confluence of factors impacting on Indonesian (including contending ideologies), none of which adequately capture the intrinsic value and distinctiveness of studying Indonesian in the Australian context.

Abstract: From its inception in 1977 until its last year of publication by an Australian publisher in 2015, the Australian Review of Applied Linguistics featured over 700 articles related to applied linguistics. This publication history provides a unique resource for tracing the scope and change of the applied linguistics landscape in Australia over the last four decades. While the journal design and format have naturally undergone some changes in this time, in this paper we consider the nature of the articles themselves, whether there have been changes in coverage or emphasis, and what this can tell us about the history of and the changes in applied linguistics in Australia. Our analysis of the articles focuses in particular on two independent dimensions – the sub-field of applied linguistics and the particular language under focus in each article – and the changes in frequencies of each of these over time.
