[|http://www.lingo.org.au] The Languages Action Alliance is a group of people who value all languages and want Australia’s rich language heritage, community resources and vast future potential to be celebrated and extended to promote an enterprising, inter-culturally connected and harmonious multicultural society. Multilingualism is an essential skill for 21st Century global citizens. Each child shold have the opportunity to participate in a language rich-learning environment, ideally from before and through their formal education. It is time for proven benefits of knowing and learning languages to be understood and valued by all of the Australia Community. It is time to demand significant ongoing support for the teaching and learning of languages! Preserve and promote Australia’s language resources!

[|Byki Learn languages]
This site contains free language learning downloads. There is a choice of 74 languages. I think the free download option would be a good support for vocabulary learning. There are also other options with appropriate costs.

[|Quizlet]
The quizlet site is another opportunity for the kids to practise their language skills. Students can access quizlets that have already been developed by other people. Both teachers and students can construct their own quizlets. It would be excellent as both a learning and assessment tool.

[|Languages Online]
Languages Online presents us with a wide range of online game makers that we can use with our students. These game makers as well as previously developed games are available at [|www.education.vic.gov.au/languagesonline]
