Abstract

History will show 2011 was one of the most intense operational periods the ADF has experienced in recent years … At its peak, almost 3 500 ADF personnel were providing assistance in the wake of Cyclone Yasi and following floods in Queensland and Victoria … There are currently around 3 330 ADF personnel deployed overseas including our missions in East Timor, the Solomon Islands and a variety of smaller operations. In addition, close to 550 members are engaged in domestic border security operations. (General David Hurley – Defence Magazine Issue 6 2011: 5) The Australian Army currently operates within a philosophical and conceptual framework known as Adaptive Campaigning, involving five mutually reinforcing and interdependent lines of operations:
§ Joint land combat
§ Population protection
§ Information actions
§ Population support
§ Indigenous capacity building
Deployed personnel use a range of languages to perform routine workplace activities with local security personnel and civilians and to build rapport and establish working relationships with people in local communities. This paper focuses on two aspects of the redesign of the curricula of the suite of language courses at the Defence Force School of Languages (DFSL): systemic functional linguistics as a framework for design and the integration of interculturality and language learning strategies.
