A recent publication “Multilingual Sydney” from Macquarie University<\/a> led by Dr Alice Chik has highlighted the ethnic diversity and multi-culturalism in Sydney. The number of people speaking Mandarin in Sydney has increased by 71 per cent between 2011 and 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Co-editor of the book Dr Robyn Moloney said the research showed that “the NSW Department of Education is doing little to mine Sydney’s rich linguistic resources”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “The economic future of NSW lies here in our diversity of languages. Students need another language if they are going to have a career involved in global trade, politics or economics,” she told Macquarie University’s Lighthouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n #sydney<\/a>#multilingual<\/a>#Language<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/lnkd.in\/fdm9_kv<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A recent publication “Multilingual Sydney” from Macquarie University led by Dr Alice Chik has highlighted the ethnic diversity and multi-culturalismRead More<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142704466,"featured_media":483,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","ub_ctt_via":"","spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[],"tags":[1470,2220,1098,42853,2608],"rise-blocks_total_comments":0,"rise-blocks_categories":[],"rise-blocks_excerpt":"A recent publication “Multilingual Sydney” from Macquarie University led by Dr Alice Chik has highlighted the ethnic diversity and multi-culturalism in Sydney.
