The School of Languages Cultures and Linguistics (LCL) at Monash takes pride in offering courses that will create what the United Nations, in one of its documents, has called ‘genuine multilingualism’: teaching students to comprehend language and culture, and understand these concepts more deeply by exploring the connection and movement between the native and foreign tongue. This goal is obtained by offering several flexible courses in languages, linguistics, international literatures and translating and interpreting.
As well as university-based education, great importance is given to Community Engagement. There are many programs within the School that have very extensive and diverse involvement with the communities they serve and with whom they work, including language enhancement for secondary school teachers and courses offered to VCE students.
