Abstract

This article compares the attitudes to foreign language education in primary schools in Taiwan and Australia and explores the impact the global status of English has on attitudes in Taiwan. Despite these differences, however, many of the issues reported by classroom teachers in the new Taiwanese program are similar to those reported by Australian teachers where languages other than English have a much more contested place in the curriculum.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
