Policy and Practice on Four Continents. Perhaps you already know it, but if not, I'd suggest that it's worth a look - even if it doesn't contain examples from Australia, as I had hoped. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend your meeting tonight, but intend to support your conference. Do please post details on this site as soon as practicable. Good luck with everything!

All language learning is fun if taught in the right way, all languages are useful for their own sake and have the potential to build bridges.

The learning of Esperanto is not only fun and extremely useful for its own sake, it is also the best bridge to train students to leatn any language other than their own.
