Content
This unit examines EAL and TESOL pedagogies for primary and secondary teachers, the debates and issues which underpin those issues and the development of pedagogies for diverse students in different socio-cultural and institutional contexts in Australia and overseas.
The unit considers approaches and methods related to teaching language form and usage in communication and the ways these can be integrated into programs that include cultural and language awareness and content based teaching for students in diverse contexts.
The unit includes an overview of the ways that students learn languages, the different language, educational and learning experiences that students bring to the classrooms, the engagement of students within language classrooms and within social contexts which are cultured and empowered. Students examine: the development of popular methods and approaches; current research in languages education and its implications for the teaching of speaking, listening, reading and writing; the development of multiliteracies, approaches for teaching language form, communication and culture; the development of integrated approaches for teaching EAL and TESOL and the related skills and knowledges to engage with different genres of literature.
