Abstract
This study examines trends over the past decade in the learning of foreign languages in schools, tertiary institutions, adult classes and ethnic schools in the A.C.T.It reports results of a survey of the attitudes towards learning foreign languages of secondary language teachers and samples of students and parents from two high schools and two secondary colleges in Canberra.
The introduction of the new system of education in Canberra in 1976 has had an impact on foreign language learning in schools. This is examined.
Reasons are offered for the trends observed and future directions for language teaching in the A.C.T. are suggested.
