Literacy is one of the most important skill sets for learning in the primary classroom. As a teacher, having a deep understanding of the English language together with how students learn in the classroom, is essential to your future as an effective primary school educator.  You will be given a framework for talking and thinking about the teaching of language, literature and literacy. You will also develop strategies for supporting student achievement in the receptive and productive modes: speaking and listening; reading and viewing; and writing and creating.   This subject will examine a range of documents to develop your understanding of how English is taught in primary schools. This includes the Australian Curriculum: English and the NSW English K-10 Syllabus and support documents.  Learn how to plan lessons and units of study for your students; how to link them directly to curriculum outcomes, and how to evaluate your lessons.
