Literacy, Language and Literature A | Federation University

EDBED2008 Literacy, Language and Literature A

This course is designed to develop understandings of literacy, language and literature in the early years of primary school. An understanding of the multiliterate and multimodal nature of literacy, and the importance of valuing home and school literacies and ways to translate this into classroom practice is considered. Theoretical perspectives that underpin how students learn reading and viewing, writing and oral language are explored with connections made to current curriculum frameworks. This course considers the nature and scope of literacy pedagogies and the effective strategies for teaching and assessing literacy, language and literature learning experiences in the early years. The importance of children¿s literature as part of the teaching and learning experience in the classroom is examined. An evaluation and recognition of your personal literacy strengths and areas of need will be a focus.
