Introduction

Read about the rationale for an Asia-literate school in the National Statement for Engaging Young Australians with Asia in Australian Schools.

The purpose of the Asia Scope and Sequence for English is to:

  • articulate key curriculum concepts and content across the compulsory years of schooling (to year 10);
  • provide advice and support to teachers of English in order to facilitate their efforts to engage young Australians with Asia; and
  • point teachers to existing exemplary resources that allow students to engage with Asia in the English classroom.

The aim is to identify opportunities for teachers within English to introduce or

strengthen engagement with Asia, as opposed to requiring additions to content or approach.
