Postgraduate
Subject coordinator: Hermine Scheeres

This subject aims to develop students' knowledge and understanding of the historical, social, political, economic and cultural contexts of language, literacy and numeracy teaching. It explores the multicultural, multilingual society in which Australians live and examines the factors and events which have influenced the development of Adult Basic Education (ABE), Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Teaching Languages Other than English (LOTE). The focus is on institution and system level, on past policies and developments and future trends to better understand more mirco practices in teaching and learning contexts. Techniques of analysis are developed.
