Report from Australia: Building Demand for Asian Literacy

From http://www.asiaeducation.edu.au/leading_schools/building_demand/building_demand_-_landing.html

The Australia-based Asia Education Foundation has gathered proven ideas from around the country to illustrate ‘what works’ in building demand. Some of these programs were specifically set up to stimulate demand; many were not, and built demand incidentally to fulfilling other learning purposes.

Download a copy of their June 2012 report on their report, which summarizes the successes and challenges of building demand for Asia literacy and makes recommendations for improving the current situation, at http://www.asiaeducation.edu.au/leading_schools/building_demand/building_demand_-_landing.html

More resources are also available at their website, including a literature review, 26 illustrations of what works, and more information about three elements found to be common to successful programs.
