What is Language Discovery® ?

Communicating with students of a similar age in another country is something that all teachers would want their students to do. What better way to practice new language skills, learn about another culture, and make new friends....When Australian students get the chance to interact with students from other countries, there is suddenly total motivation to communicate and make friends.

Language Discovery Online, a Web 2.0 project connects Australian and overseas students, making the outside world part of Australian students' daily life experience. The activities draw out students' natural curiosity and desire to learn, and are designed to complement regular classes.

Through Language Discovery Online students learn the value of studying a second language by experiencing meaningful and purposeful use of language through actual communication with their overseas peers.
