VCE LOTE VSL – Distance Education
Subject Overview
Learning a language can help improve reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. It can also help you fully appreciate the richness of that country’s literature, history and culture.
Students have the opportunity to study an additional language through the Victorian School of Languages (VSL). Courses are delivered by Distance Education. Students in most cases will have an allocated class and support teacher at Mildura Senior College.
** VCE Languages other than English (LOTE) is designed for students who have typically studied the language for at least 200 hours prior to the commencement of Unit 1.
