Synopsis Students will extend their fluency and control of the Bundjalung language, develop more skills in handling phonetic transcriptions, and learn what is known of the Gippsland area languages, in particular Ganai/Kurnai also looking at the dynamics of other Aboriginal languages around Australia, ie Western Desert. Practical application of these skills will be further tested in role plays, dictation tests, and oral and written work. Instruction takes place through lectures, language practice and tutorials.
