Teaching Primary English in Australia Subject Knowledge and Classroom Practice

Synopsis

This first Australian edition of Teaching Primary English has been updated and adapted to reflect the Australian sociocultural and educational context.

This text provides a comprehensive, evidence informed introduction to teaching and learning English in the primary school classroom. New content refers to the Australian English Curriculum and incorporates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and literacy perspectives relevant to the Asia-Pacific region as well as the broader international context. This edition also includes a new section devoted to visual literacy, critical literacy and multimodality. Teaching advice and ideas are supported by practical examples linked to video clips filmed in real schools, reflective activities, observational tasks and online resources. Each section includes suggestions for great children’s literature and offers assessment advice and support for planning for diversity and special educational needs.

Drawing on the very latest research and theory, supported by practical examples and guidance, this is an essential resource for pre-service teachers as they develop subject knowledge and the skills and confidence to deliver effective and engaging classroom practice.
