EDMST6115 The Craft of Writing
This unit focuses on building applied practice to enable the `teaching of writers, not writing¿. Students will learn to read like a writer, with the opportunity to delve deeply into author¿s craft, analyse and un-pack linguistic features and devices, and balance authorial and secretarial aspects of writing. Through investigation of current research, students will develop knowledge of writing development and evidence-based writing instruction practices, and have opportunity to apply this knowledge to pedagogical practice. In completing this unit students will gain understanding of genre, hybrid texts, social processes and products and how to apply this knowledge in the classroom. They will also learn to use mentor texts in the genre teaching and learning cycle as a pedagogical framework to support students in developing effective writing skills.
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.
