EDBED4112 Multiliteracies in a Global World (Including EAL/D)
This unit is designed to take literacy beyond a focus on traditional print-based text to multiple-forms of knowing, including print, images, video, performance and other digital contexts. PSTs have already considered key concepts and pedagogical practices in language and literacy in the primary classroom. This unit extends knowledge of pedagogical practices of how students learn and the implications for teaching by considering the multiple modes of communication, the multiplicity of social and cultural influences and critical perspectives. English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) learners are also considered as PSTs develop strategies to differentiate their teaching to meet specific learning needs. Embedding critical thinking skills in a multiliterate framework, PSTs are immersed in both the theory and practice of multiliteracies to consider how globalisation has created a more complex environment for teachers and students.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
