The Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master of Indigenous Languages Education equip Indigenous educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the NSW Aboriginal Languages K-10 Syllabus and syllabi from other states. Course content is arranged into linguistics, theory and practice strands and is applicable to all Indigenous Australian languages. Students do not need to be fluent in an Indigenous Australian language to enter the courses and may undertake external study in one as part of the Graduate Diploma or Master.<BR>
<BR>
The courses are offered on a full-time basis by mixed-mode ('block release') requiring attendance at three blocks each semester. Teaching staff are drawn from within the University and Indigenous Australian language programs from across the state.<BR>
<BR>
Entry to the Graduate Certificate of Indigenous Languages Education requires that candidates have successfully completed two years towards a teaching qualification, that is: a Diploma in Education (Aboriginal), or equivalent. The Graduate Certificate is completed in one semester full-time and consists of four units of study:<BR>
