The focus of this subject is upon Subject English education. It explores the teaching
of children in the Pre-Preparatory, Preparatory and Primary School Years within the
subject English. The subject attends to the Australian Curriculum - English (concentrating
on the three interrelated strands of Language, Literature and Literacy), the Early
Years Learning Framework (concentrating on the EYLF Outcome "Children are Effective
Communicators") and to additional appropriate policies and frameworks. Topics include
- in the context of contemporary Pre-Preparatory, Preparatory and Primary School learning
environments - teaching children within Subject English across the areas of listening,
reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating; the critique of several models of
instruction which influence teaching across the language/literacy area, with a view
to maximising learning opportunities for children with diverse abilities and backgrounds;
issues of language diversity and learning styles and their impact on best teaching
practice; a variety of means for assessing and reporting on student learning; a focus
on meaning and relevance within 'schooling' and other contexts, as the basis for selecting
literacy instructional techniques and resources to be used; and consideration of the
profound changes in literacy demands for children today noting the major role new
media and technologies play. This subject provides the preservice teacher with the
opportunity to develop as a Professional Practitioner - where she/he will focus on
'teaching for learning' and her/his professional identity as a 'teacher of learners'
within the context of Subject English.
Learning Outcomes
- implement a variety of genres and text types, including multimodal texts and children's
literature in the teaching of English;
- apply knowledge of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and relevant
ACECQA standards in regard to teaching and learning in Subject English;
- critically reflect upon the diversity in children's backgrounds, particularly language
backgrounds, and generate ways of accommodating such diversity in educational settings;
- evaluate the Australian Curriculum English, the Early Years Learning Framework, the
Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline and a range of instructional models for
achieving the outcomes set out for children in the Pre-Preparatory and Preparatory
years;
- formulate a personal theory of English language and literacy teaching and learning
that will inform the future classroom praxis for the teacher including planning, assessment
and reporting strategies and use this knowledge in motivating learners to build new
understanding in age-appropriate ways and contexts.
