The focus of this subject is upon Subject English education. It explores the teaching
of children in the 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) and to additional appropriate policies and frameworks,
including, for example, the Early Years Learning Framework (concentrating on the EYLF
Outcome "Children are Effective Communicators") . Topics in the context of contemporary
Primary School learning environments include: 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
- identify, create and use a variety of genres and text types, including multimodal
texts and children's literature, and incorporate these in the teaching of Subject
English;
- demonstrate knowledge of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and their
application in regard to teaching and learning in Subject English;
- demonstrate an awareness of the diversity in children's backgrounds, particularly
language backgrounds, and demonstrate ways of accommodating such diversity in educational
settings;
- demonstrate familiarity with the Australian Curriculum English and a range of instructional
models for achieving the outcomes set out for children in the Primary School years;
- use knowledge to build on 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 knowledge in age-appropriate ways and contexts.
