Overview
In Semester 3, 2023 this course will be delivered as a Transition (9 week) semester, commencing on 13 November 2023 and concluding on 12 January 2024.
Participation in many aspects of Australian life is dependent on effective communication in Standard Australian English. Developing effective skills for the teaching of English is one of the principal tasks of all teachers. Australian Teacher Education programmes must meet Australian Standards for accreditation including study in English as a priority Learning Area. Included in the Australian Government鈥檚 plan for quality education is a commitment to the teaching of reading instruction through an explicit focus on phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. Teachers of English should be familiar with theories of pedagogical practices, along with research-based strategies that facilitate planning for effective English teaching and learning with diverse groups of learners.
This course is part of a suite of four English courses for primary and early childhood pre-service educators. The course will address early reading instruction by using an evidence-based framework that teaches pre-service teachers how to teach and assess oral language, metalinguistic awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and oral language to students from Kindergarten to Year Two. A variety of children's literature, including multimodal texts and ICTS will be used.
