Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Methodologies

This subject was previously known as EDC161 Performing Arts for Educators.
This is the first of two Arts Education subjects. It introduces The Arts Learning Area subjects of Dance, Drama and Music and positions The Arts in a cultural context.

With a focus on strengths and competencies, not simply deficits and or inequities, the unit will include review of historical antecedents, paradigms, conceptual models, strategies and tactics of social and community change and action. Topics will include theory and evidence-based examples and methodologies from selected contexts and social systems, such as education, mental health, community organizations, the workplace, health care, the justice system, and social services.

Applied Intercultural and Community Psychology

In this subject, you will learn how to apply research to solve real world problems of the sort that you will encounter in your practice as health professionals. This subject will employ experiential learning principles through nested and authentic assessments. This will give you the opportunity to learn research methods in a sequential manner and receive focused feedback, thereby increasing confidence to use your research skills in future professional roles. From the first week students will be placed in research teams to enable collaboration and support across the subject. In groups, you will begin by developing your skills in identifying a problem, developing a research question and objective, and designing a review protocol to locate, appraise and extract information from relevant high-quality sources. Next, you will conduct a search and synthesise findings in a transparent scientific format whereby you practice the skills of narrative and tabular summaries. Subsequently, you will be exposed to data and gain basic statistical knowledge needed to prepare a data report and contextualise your findings within the broader literature. Finally, student research teams will take part in a group poster presentation whereby the findings from across the semester are summarised and contextualised. You will have the chance to identify future research cycle improvements and reflect on your work across the semester. Additionally, members of the La Trobe research community will present their work to demonstrate practical applications of research skills relevant to health professionals. In conclusion, PHE2AHR is a second year subject, therefore to ensure your best opportunity for success in meeting the subject&#39;s intended learning outcomes, it is recommended that you have completed at least 120 credit points before enrolling.
