SBS Learn English has released a digital video series designed to help new Australian migrants improve their English language skills – with the added bonus of learning how to live with snakes, koalas and other wildlife common to their new home environment.
The Living with Aussie Wildlife series, voiced by SBS News presenter Virginia Langeberg over 10x three-minute-long episodes, was developed in partnership with Navitas Skilled Futures and WIRES to help the 872,000 Australians who self-reported to have no or low English proficiency. Featuring in-language support and employing content-centred learning techniques, the videos target migrants with a pre-intermediate level of English language skills who want to build on their abilities and knowledge of Australian culture.
