Perhaps if you look for a PH D in a university of Spain (internet), you can found it.

Have you tried looking in the OECD literature?

And perhaps in Google Academic (Scholar).

Thanks John and Ramón. In fact, I usually do my search in both. I could find some studies about some aspects of education in both countries. Assessment is mostly frequent, but not primary/secondary school curricula analysis or foreign language teaching and learning. I'll continue with a closer search.

Thanks for your time replying.

Best,

Laura

In the Australian context, one place to start might be the national curriculum authority: http://www.acara.edu.au/curriculum/curriculum.html

And on the subject of languages: http://www.acara.edu.au/curriculum/learning_areas/languages.html

Excellent John, many thanks. I'll take a look now. 

Thanks again,

Laura
