The former Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST), now the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), under funding from the Australian Government Quality Teaching Programme (AGQTP), commissioned the Research Centre for Languages and Cultures (RCLC) at the University of South Australia (UniSA) to research, develop and manage the Intercultural Language Teaching and Learning in Practice (ILTLP) project. This project was designed to develop a professional learning programme focused on extending teachers’ engagement with intercultural language learning as a basis for renewing languages teaching, learning and assessment for the benefit of students.
