I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we are gathered this evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

In doing so, I wish to pay my respects to their elders\u2014past, present and emerging. <\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to acknowledge our hosts:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u00a0 Ms Lucia Johns, President, NSW Federation of Community<\/span>
    \n\u00a0 \u00a0 Language Schools<\/span><\/li>\n

    \n\u00a0 \u00a0 Community Language Schools, and their fantastic team<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0 \u00a0 Distinguished guests, who include:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \u00a0Dr Alice Chik, Associate Professor of the Multilingualism Research<\/span>
      \nCentre at Macquarie University<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Ms Hilary Hughes, Director of Community Languages and<\/span>

    • \u00a0My parliamentary colleagues,<\/span><\/li>\n
    • \u00a0Principals and teachers of community language schools<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Ladies and gentlemen.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \nIt is a great pleasure to be with you here in Parliament House to launch the important paper:<\/span><\/p>\n

      “What are languages worth? Community Languages for the future of New South Wales. As many of you know, I am passionate about our community language skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Not just because I am the Minister for Multiculturalism, but because I believe learning a second language is a priority if we are to become a truly global city.<\/span><\/p>\n

      And what we have learned from Dr Chik\u2019s report only strengthens my conviction that community languages are invaluable to the future of NSW. Sydney, in particular, is a highly multilingual city in a highly multilingual<\/span>
      \nstate.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Twenty-five per cent of us in New South Wales speak another language at home.And this figure rises to 35 per cent in greater Sydney. Of course, having another language under our belts expands our capacity for global trade and international cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n

      These skills don\u2019t only have relevance to global companies. Preserving community languages also contribute to our State\u2019s economic growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

      In 2019-20, small to medium enterprises employed 1.6 million people, accounting for 43 per cent of private-sector employment in New South Wales.<\/span><\/p>\n

      And just over a third of small business owners were born overseas. And many successful Australian small to medium enterprises also use the language skills of their migrant workforces.<\/span><\/p>\n

      By doing this, we actually capitalise on our successful multiculturalism in a really practical way. Because the business connections forged through a shared language are vital to entrepreneurship.<\/span><\/p>\n

      And they also help newer and emerging communities feel settled and welcome. Language skills also contribute to the development of the language services industry\u2014employing the translators and interpreters we needed so much<\/span>
      \nduring the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

      This sector is estimated to exceed 50 billion US dollars globally. And it has expanded substantially as COVID accelerated the demand for language services.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Languages also play a vital role in our two biggest export earners in theservice sector\u2014international education and tourism.<\/span><\/p>\n

      That\u2019s not to mention contributions to our cultural life here, as we see through the many multicultural celebrations and festivals across the suburbs every weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

      This reports tells us that the biggest threat to community languages is the loss of family languages in our second and third generation Aussie\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"The<\/p>\n

      Only by bolstering languages in mainstream and community language schools can we address this loss. Like this paper, the OECD\u2019s 2020 report \u2018How language learning opens doors\u2019 also recognises the need for young people to learn another language.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Because foreign languages are an important driver towards better job opportunities, greater career development and educational prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Their data shows that, overall, expectations about completing tertiary education and working as a manager or a professional are higher among students who speak more than one language.<\/span><\/p>\n

      They are also higher among students who learn another language at school compared to those who are not. Importantly, these patterns are still observed even after accounting for the socio-economic profile of students and schools. For many years I have strongly supported the work of the Federation of Community Language Schools.<\/span><\/p>\n

      I thank the thousands of voluntary teachers who work tirelessly at the 250 schools in 460 different locations across our state.<\/span><\/p>\n

      You continually strive for excellence by undertaking further training. And your efforts \u2013 a lot of which is voluntary \u2013 to develop curricular materials in 57 different languages, should not be understated<\/span><\/p>\n

      I also thank the 30,000 students for their dedication and achievements. The NSW Government is proud to support the federation with grants for its vital work in supporting multicultural communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

      As Minister for Multiculturalism, I appreciate the opportunity to be the voice of multicultural communities right across our State.<\/span><\/p>\n

      And to ensure that consideration for multicultural communities remains at the centre of Government decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n

      We set an example to the rest of the world in how diverse communities can live and thrive together.<\/span><\/p>\n

      More than anything, that is because we value the hope and opportunity that Australia offers us all. Once again, I\u2019d like to take this opportunity to thank all community language teachers and the Federation for supporting this vital research.<\/span><\/p>\n

      We need more detailed research out there focusing on enhancing the language capabilities of our state.<\/span>
      \n\u00a0We also need more research that recognises the importance and contribution of language and diversity to NSW. I look forward to taking part in this endeavour. Because this is something we can all be proud of.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Thank you all for your tireless voluntary efforts to pass on language, culture and traditions to generations of Aussies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
