Voices and Visions Online Tutorial

The National Asian Languages and Studies in Australian Schools (NALSAS) Strategy was a
cooperative initiative of the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments. The
programmes it established continue to support enhanced and expanded provision for Asian
languages and Asian studies through all school systems, with the aim of improving Australia’s
capacity and preparedness to interact internationally, in particular with Asian countries.
Through the NALSAS Strategy, the Commonwealth Government funded Curriculum
Corporation to develop and publish the Voices & Visions series of CD-ROMs. Each CD-ROM
is a package of authentic and topical primary source materials about a particular country,
including contemporary and traditional material presenting non-stereotypical images. The
audience for the CD-ROMs is secondary teachers and students in years 10–12.
There are four titles in the series:
• Voices & Visions from Indonesia
• Voices & Visions from China
• Voices & Visions from Japan
• Voices & Visions from India
The Voices & Visions CD-ROMs have been developed to:
• encourage English teachers to move beyond ‘traditional’ texts and integrate
non-English-based texts in their teaching;
• enhance English teachers’ understanding of and skills in the use of CD-ROMbased
multimedia and ICT; and
• expand English teachers’ critical and cultural literacies so that the studies of Asia
emphases are incorporated more effectively.
To support teachers in the use of this resource, a professional development programme has
been developed, consisting of the following.
• An online introductory tutorial to support a broad audience in the use of Voices
& Visions CD-ROMs: Indonesia, China, Japan and India. The online tutorial can
be found on the NALSAS website at http://www.curriculum.edu.au/nalsas/
• A one-day train-the-trainer programme to support the delivery of professional
development in relation to Voices & Visions from Indonesia (developed in 2002).
• Completed delivery of the train-the-trainer programme in all states and territories in
2002.
• Adaptation of the one-day train-the-trainer programme to incorporate all of the
four Voices & Visions CD-ROMs. These materials are available online as a PDF
file on the NALSAS website.
Funding for the project was provided by the Commonwealth Department of Education,
Science and Training (DEST) under the National Asian Languages and Studies in Australian
Schools (NALSAS) Strategy. The professional development project is managed by the Asia
Education Foundation (AEF). This resource is the online tutorial.

《澳大利亚学校中的国家亚洲语言与学术研究战略》（NALSAS）系联邦、州及领地政府的一项合作倡议。其所设立的项目持续为所有学校体系中的亚洲语言及亚洲学术研究提供深化与拓展的支持，旨在提升澳大利亚在国际交往，尤其是与亚洲国家互动的能力与准备。通过NALSAS战略，联邦政府资助课程公司开发并出版了《声音与视野》系列光盘。每一张光盘均汇集了关于特定国家的真实且具有时效性的初级资料，包括呈现非刻板印象的当代与传统材料。这些光盘的目标受众为10至12年级的中学教师和学生。该系列共包含四个主题：

• 《来自印度尼西亚的声音与视野》

• 《来自中国的声音与视野》

• 《来自日本的声音与视野》

• 《来自印度的声音与视野》

《声音与视野》光盘的编制旨在：

• 鼓励英语教师超越‘传统’文本，将非英语文本融入教学中；

• 提升英语教师对基于光盘的多媒体及信息通信技术的理解和运用技能；

• 扩展英语教师的批判性及文化素养，以便更有效地将亚洲研究的重点融入教学。为支持教师使用此资源，已开发了一套专业发展计划，包括以下内容。

• 一份在线入门教程，旨在支持广大受众使用《声音与视野》光盘（印尼、中国、日本和印度）。该在线教程可在NALSAS网站上找到，网址为http://www.curriculum.edu.au/nalsas/。

• 一天的培训师培训计划，以支持关于《来自印度尼西亚的声音与视野》（2002年开发）的专业发展实施。

• 2002年在所有州和领地完成了培训师培训计划的实施。

• 将一天的培训师培训计划调整为包含所有四张《声音与视野》光盘。这些材料作为PDF文件可在NALSAS网站上在线获取。项目资金由联邦教育部、科学及培训部（DEST）在《澳大利亚学校中的国家亚洲语言与学术研究战略》（NALSAS）框架下提供。该专业发展项目由亚洲教育基金会（AEF）管理。此资源即为在线教程。
