An investigation into the effectiveness of an exemplar model for a LOTE preservice teacher education program using language immersion method

"This report is one of a number of studies which form part of the Commonwealth Government's initiative, the Innovative Languages Other Than English in Schools program (ILOTES) for 1991-1994. The program follows from the white paper Australia's Language: The Australian Language and Literacy Policy (ALLP), released by the Federal Government in 1991, which identified Australia's current language and literacy needs, and which stated the goals and objectives and directions to be adopted in order to implement the policy of improving national proficiency in English and languages other than English. The report describes one such direction in the implementation of this policy supported by the subsequent Ingelson,Leal amd [sic] Nicholas Reports. The report focuses on the initial teacher education program called the Language and Cultures Initial Teacher Education Program (LACITEP) which was implemented in the Faculty of Education at the Central Queensland University in 1993..."--p. 1.
