SICLE ONLINE PORTAL FOR
COMMUNITY LANGUAGE RESOURCES
The Sydney Institute for Community Languages Education (SICLE) has established this portal to bring together available resources to support teaching both in out-of-hours community languages schools and primary and secondary schools. For many languages there is a gap in quality heritage/ second language teaching materials.

Resources for All Languages
This portal is for everyone teaching community languages, but especially for the 3,000 volunteer teachers in NSW community languages schools. Teachers often have full-time work and family responsibilities and teach on weekends because of their commitment to maintaining their languages and cultures.
There is no perfect resource. Please excuse any errors or typos.
We have uploaded word versions so that teachers can change and adapt for their own classes.
We have checked copyright as much as possible.
