Language learning improves literacy and numeracy

Research conducted by AFMLTA has shown that students who speak another language at home and/or learn a language at school achieve higher results in their NAPLAN tests. 

The students with an additional language and/or who are learning a language in school are gaining valuable benefits in their literacy and numeracy skills development.
