Chronic ear infection blights the life of at least 50% of Aboriginal Australians. In a vicious cycle that extends from generation to generation, it leads to hearing loss, educational disadvantage, socio-economic disadvantage and environmental depredation, which once again leads to ear (and many other) infections. This is a unique attempt by researchers across academic disciplines to study the role of language in educational disadvantage and whether this disadvantage might be made worse for Aboriginal children by the early use of English at school. We ask whether, on purely acoustic or linguistic grounds, communicating in an Aboriginal language might offer improved educational and health outcomes for Aboriginal children in the early years.

慢性耳部感染损害了至少 50% 的澳大利亚原住民的生活。在代代相传的恶性循环中，它会导致听力损失、教育劣势、社会经济劣势和环境破坏，从而再次导致耳部（和许多其他）感染。这是跨学科研究人员的独特尝试，旨在研究语言在教育劣势中的作用，以及在学校过早使用英语是否会使原住民儿童的这种劣势变得更糟。我们询问，纯粹从声学或语言角度来看，用原住民语言进行交流是否可以改善原住民儿童的早期教育和健康状况。
