Observations from indigenous languages in Northern Territory, Australia
Observations from indigenous languages in Northern Territory, Australia Journal Article
The Lancet Global Health
Abstract: David Flood and Peter Rohloff's Comment on indigenous languages and global health (February, 2018)1 facilitated a reflection on languages in the Northern Territory of Australia. The concept of so-called both ways or two-way learning respects and incorporates Aboriginal cultural concepts with Western pedagogies in Australian teaching. In 1973, bilingual education was established in remote schools of the Northern Territory in Australia, recognising benefits for self-identity, learning, and equity.
