This is the third in the suite of three English subjects in the Master of Teaching (Primary Education). The focus of this unit is to critique and analyse the key paradigms and pedagogies of the English learning area as they apply to different teaching contexts. Students will design and justify a cross-curricular plan using discipline knowledge, principles and concepts in primary English which will extend and challenge a diversity of learners.
