TEP423: English in the Secondary School I
This unit focuses on the contemporary role of the teaching of English in a secondary school context. Emphasis is given to the classroom application of current theories about literature, literacy and language learning. The New South Wales' syllabus documents for Stages 4, 5 and 6 are examined in terms of outcomes, programming, assessment strategies and resources. The nature of student centred learning in the English classroom will be explored through a variety of approaches. Key issues considered include the writing process, popular culture, visual texts, adolescent reading and the role of technology.
