EDMAS6009 English Curriculum 1
This unit is designed to enhance knowledge and skills related to the effective teaching of English in secondary schools. It begins with the critical examination of personal learning experiences and theoretical perspectives and debates about the purposes of the subject. PSTs will learn about the dynamic nature of literacy and language and will be inspired to teach a range of diverse literary texts, including multimodal and digital texts. PSTs will learn how to plan, structure and sequence English lessons and to use a range of teaching strategies, resources and assessment approaches to foster the active participation and engagement of all secondary students. PSTs will learn how to develop school students as perceptive and skilled readers and writers able to participate in substantive conversations about texts.
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.
