Abstract
The Student Achievement in Asian Languages Education (SAALE) Project responds to a critical need in Asian languages education in Australia for baseline data on student achievement. It addresses the question of what it is that students actually achieve as a result of learning particular Asian languages (Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Korean) as part of their K–12 education. It also addresses the question of how well they achieve this learning. All those involved in Asian languages education should be able to articulate what it is and how well students achieve at different phases of schooling. This includes students, teachers, parents, school communities,education systems, teacher educators, and researchers. This study is the first in languages education in Australia that has addressed the question of student achievement in Asian languages, K–12, through research that has captured actual student performance.
