The ties between Australia and Indonesia continue to develop, with an increasing number of Australians travelling to Indonesia for leisure, business and education purposes; numbers of Indonesians visiting Australia are also increasing.
DurationThe languages of the Indonesian archipelago have been used in Australia since contact several centuries ago between the peoples of the islands now known as Indonesia and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of northern Australia.
The ties between Australia and Indonesia continue to develop, with an increasing number of Australians travelling to Indonesia for leisure, business and education purposes; numbers of Indonesians visiting Australia are also increasing.
Indonesia currently has Australia’s largest overseas diplomatic presence. Indonesian, or Bahasa Indonesia, is spoken by approximately 230 million people throughout the Indonesian archipelago. Closely related dialects of the same language, usually called Malay, are used in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and southern Thailand.
Indonesian is a standardised language that is the official language of government, education, business and the media. It has been and continues to be shaped by other languages, most significantly Javanese, Dutch, Arabic and English.
Indonesian is written using the Roman alphabet, and there is a clear correlation and a degree of consistency between its sound and its written form. This feature generally makes it easy for speakers of English as a first language to predict how to say, read or write Indonesian words.
Who We Are
The School of Languages is a government school which specialises in languages education. Since its establishment in 1986, this unique South Australian school has supported thousands of students to pursue their interest in languages learning and to experience the joy of embracing another culture.
The school was initially founded as a secondary school for students from all three sectors. In 2000 the school introduced its first classes for students from Reception to Year 7. Since then our primary classes have continued to grow in popularity and demand.
Our Mission
The School of Languages aims to enhance access, choice and continuity in language learning for South Australian learners, through the provision of quality programs in a broad range of languages R-12, that complement and supplement languages programs offered in mainstream schools and ethnic schools.
Our Values
Our Unique Context
Students from Government, Catholic and Independent schools come together after school hours to learn the language of their choice, which is not available in their home school. Lessons are held once a week in a friendly environment of committed professionals and motivated students. This provides for a sustained focus and time for extending students’ learning through a wide range of activities.
Teaching Centres
Our classes are held in schools across Adelaide, with Adelaide High School being the largest centre. Approximately 25 other teaching centres offer a variety of languages at various year levels, in response to local demand.
We give special acknowledgement and appreciation to the many schools across Adelaide that host our programs, thus enabling students and their families to benefit from learning a language.
