Abstract
To gain knowledge of Japanese Language Education in Australia, I researched an Australian Primary School, (Gawler Primary). I surveyed teachers, children and parents and found the following; children enjoyed learning Japanese, but found it difficult. The teachers thought that the children enjoyed learning Japanese and that assistant teachers were important to help the children learn the language. The children's parents thought Japanese was very interesting, therefore were happy that their children were the language, and would like them to continue if they enjoyed it. Overall I found that LOTE works very well at Gawler Primary School.
