DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :As a predominantly English-speaking country, Australia struggles with similar issues to the UK concerning second languages education. Student numbers are down in the classic ‘school languages,’ while societal multilingualism is tolerated without being fully embraced. As in many other countries, there seem to be two sets of opinion about bilingualism. On the one hand it is seen as a positive asset for the careers of native English speakers, but on the other, it is seen as holding back the development of immigrant children. The resulting disregard of the huge source of already existing skills was pointed out by Australian linguist Michael Clyne (2005), who saw a great untapped potential in Australia’s migrant bilingual skills.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=5289
