Postgraduate
Subject coordinator: Sue Hood

This subject aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to enable them to teach literacy in a variety of contexts. It provides an introduction to the relationship between language use and power relationships in our society and an understanding of the nature and development of literacy practices. Students explore the research which supports different concepts of literacy, with particular attention given to the understanding of literacy as social construct. Literacy teaching and learning strategies in first and second language contexts are examined and evaluated in the light of the theoretical frameworks provided in this subject and in 015152 Language in Social Context.
