Description:
Language, Literacy and Literature combines concepts of language, literature and literacy within a pedagogical framework that leads readers through a series of learning processes. In other words, it is as much a book about teaching English as it is a book about learning how to learn about teaching. The book provides models for pre-service teachers to help identify the kinds of dispositions towards learning that a teacher needs to develop, such as curiosity, collaboration and willingness to ‘give things a go’. It further challenges the pre-service teacher to question what they think they know, as well as discover what they need to know. A range of practical and relevant exercises and activities assist in building habits of reflexive practice.Key features: Features lots of interesting and readily applicable activities and questions that invite students to practice what they’ve learned and to record it in their journals or portfolios Approaches literacy across the KLAs, and consistent with National Curriculum emphases in literature. Covers early childhood, primary and middle years to assist primary teachers to prepare students for secondary school. Good balance of theory and practice, through clearly outlined practical applications related to literacy pedagogy Sections on children’s literature interspersed throughout: include poetry, fiction and non-fiction Covers multiliteracies, oral language and standards Coverage of oral literacy traditions – Indigenous traditions, stories and songlines Coverage of processes and strategies of writing, genres (genre model), creative writing, text types, themes etc. Appropria
