The government
doesn’t support
Languages in this
country. We don’t
even have a
national
languages policy!
![Page 6: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Look at kids today!
They don’t want to
learn a language! They
think it’s going to be
hard work and they’re
not wrong either…
![Page 7: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
My resource
budget is so
limited… how
can I possibly
make language
learning
engaging?
![Page 8: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
There are so many
attractive elective subjects
to choose from on ‘our line’
… there’s no way we can
compete against them!
![Page 9: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It’s so hard to
convince them
that what we
are doing will
be useful to
them one
day…
![Page 10: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
My students don’t
feel like they’re
making any
progress. No
wonder, there are
so few hours
allocated to the
course…
![Page 11: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Kids are
dropping out of
language study
all over the
world! Why
would it be
different in
Australia…?
![Page 12: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Boys aren’t
interested in learning
languages…
![Page 13: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Parents have so
much influence
on the kids’
subject choices…
and most don’t
give a damn
about language
learning...
![Page 14: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
They’ll only want to
study a language if
their friends are doing
it too…
![Page 15: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Languages receive
so little support
from the
executive staff…
half the time,
we’re not even
recognised as a
legitimate Key
Learning Area…
![Page 16: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
THINK POSITIVELY
!!!
![Page 17: Ghislaine Barbe - The Devil's Advocate](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/54b4dfe64a79593c0f8b4578/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Languages receive
so little support
from the
executive staff…
half the time,
we’re not even
recognised as a
legitimate Key
Learning Area…
It’s great that I
have access to
people on the
executive who
will listen to me.
I can really move
Languages
forward in this
school.

OK, THIS IS WHAT I’LL DO:
•Build good rapport with
executives who have a
‘language’ sensibility
• Initiate things that are
good for Languages and good
for the school
• Volunteer for key positions
as they become available
• Work on my assertiveness
•…

1. Re-frame the statement on your table to turn it into a positive
thinking statement
2. List 2 or 3 initiatives you can undertake at your school to
support your re-framed statement
3. Write 1 and 2 on butcher’s paper or on the back channel
