Languages Other Than English |
Languages other than English are a means of communicating across cultures and promoting inter-cultural understanding and competence.
Learning a language other than English also promotes:
Communication skills –using process skills and strategies to deploy linguistic features in culturally appropriate ways;
Cognitive development – using an alternative linguistic system to make explicit comparisons between languages means students are better able to solve problems, to think logically and to express themselves with clarity;
Appreciation of cultures –critically appreciating different ways of perceiving and expressing reality gives students a wider perspective from which they might view the world and their place in it.

At Corinda State School the Language Other Than English which is taught is French. Students begin learning this in Year 4 and continue to year 7.
Our French program has won many awards including an Education Queensland Showcase Award and several LOTE Olympics competitions. Our LOTE teacher Madame Callaghan was the recipient of a National Excellence in Teaching Award in 2001.
