This book researches the study of languages other than English, and
their place in the Australian tertiary sector. Languages are
discussed in the context of the histories of Australian
universities, and the series of reports and surveys about languages
across the second half of the twentieth century. It demonstrates
how changes in the ethnic mix of society are reflected in language
offerings, and how policies on languages have changed as a result
of societal influences. Also discussed is the extent to which
influencing factors changed over time depending on social,
cultural, political and economic contexts, and the extent to which
governments prioritised the promotion and funding of languages
because of their perceived contribution to the national interest.
The book will give readers an understanding as to whether languages
have mattered to Australia in a national and international sense
and how Australia's attention to languages has been reflected in
its identity and its sense of place in the world.
