Course details
Effective language and literacy instruction is central to primary school students' learning in English and in all other areas of the school curriculum. This course aims to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that contribute to successful teaching and learning, of language and literacy, in the range of educational contexts that constitute primary education. The course addresses the broad areas of early literacy learning and the middle years of schooling. The approach is grounded in theoretical perspectives that seek to provide balanced and explicit instruction about language and literacy practices, and knowledge of texts that are central to those. Specifically, students in the course will be required to work with primary school learners to demonstrate effective assessment and instruction of language and literacy, planning of literacy lessons, and development of a unit of work in English that addresses the diversity of needs of primary school students in 21st century classrooms. It is intended that working with a learner in the classroom enables the drawing together of perspectives provided by the course with the experiences of classroom practice.
