What does this mean for an Aboriginal learner?
Uncle, e got big mob money
For an Aboriginal learner, this will mean that the uncle has just been paid, that it is pay day, and he/she needs to be quick because there won’t be any money left tomorrow.
What does ‘My uncle has got lots of money’ mean for a non-Aboriginal learner?For a non-Aboriginal learner this will mean the uncle is rich, has a big house, he’s got one or two cars, maybe a boat too, and goes on holidays.
The parts we can hear (or read) are above the ground, eg sounds, words, sentences or utterances, and whole texts.
Some parts of language are less easy to see/hear, such as meanings.
Other parts of language are even harder to see or hear. These include how we use our language (the rules of language usage).
Another invisible part of the ‘language anthill’ is how our language includes the way we see the world – our world view (our values, beliefs and attitudes). These things are often set by experiences within our culture.

An intention or policy of including people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized.
Inclusion is shown by recognising the culture and language that Aboriginal learners bring to school, while empowerment comes from progress in learning Standard Australian English, which gives access to power.
