Australian curriculum development Geography In October 2012 the final F-12 Australian Curriculum: Geography will be presented to the ACARA Board and then to the Ministerial Council for approval. ACARA is aiming to proceed with digital publication in December 2012. Languages The languages (and associated learner pathways) for which F-10 Australian Curriculum will be developed by the end of 2013 are: A Framework for Aboriginal Languages and Torres Strait Islander Languages Arabic, Modern Greek, and Vietnamese (one learner pathway to be developed, pitched to learners who have some background in the language) French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish (one learner pathway to be developed, pitched to second language learners) Chinese (three learner pathways to be developed to cater specifically for second language learners across F-10, background language learners across F-10 and first language learners in Years 7-10). Further work will be undertaken to determine the process and timelines for developing Australian Curriculum in additional languages beyond those listed below (in the first instance, for Auslan, Classical languages, Hindi and Turkish).
