The Sydney Institute for Community Language Education (SICLE) is playing a key role in increasing teacher supply with more diverse entrants to initial teacher education and to the teaching profession.
We are doing this by offering a Master of Teaching (MTeach) pathway program, developing and offering Language Proficiency Tests and coordinating the Language Teaching Approval Program.
