Integrating Indigenous Australian Knowledge and Japanese Language Learning

Sponsored by the Australia-Japan Foundation

These resources aim to support teachers of Japanese to work with Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) using content relevant to the Australian Curriculum, that also recognises the important contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures to that knowledge. This has been enabled through resources originally created for teachers using the Australian Curriculum through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander School Curricula project.

It is an initiative of the CLIL Teacher Education Lab, inspired by the work of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander School Curricula project, and sponsored by the Australia-Japan Foundation.
