Course description
This course is one of two courses within the MTeach (Primary) that focus on the teaching and learning of Literacy and English. Three interrelated aspects of the teaching profession provide a developmental framework for the courses: knowing yourself as a literacy/English teacher; knowing your students; and knowing the disciplinary content of subject English as well as the place of literacy teaching and learning within other curriculum areas. In this course students will develop a repertoire of teaching strategies and practices related to the teaching of English; identify a range of assessment techniques and strategies suitable for diverse contexts; and build their knowledge of key concepts related to literacy and the discipline of English.
