'Subject English' education in the context of Years 7-10 of secondary schooling is the focus of this subject. This subject attends to the construction of pedagogical content knowledge and practice within this context. Students will engage with and demonstrate an understanding of the Australian Curriculum: English. They will also engage with and design discipline-specific curriculum planning, assessment practices and teaching strategies as relevant to the Years 7-10 English classroom context. Students will explore issues that impact on teaching and learning in the context of the Years 7-10 English classroom as well as reflect critically upon and evaluate theoretical positions/frameworks and professional resources. They will explore, for example: theoretical and practice-based issues of literacy and language teaching and learning broadly; pedagogies of reading, writing, speaking/performing, listening and viewing; the field of literary and popular culture studies (including multimodal approaches); and ways of working with student diversity (including linguistic and cultural diversity and learning (dis)ability) as they apply to the Years 7-10 English classroom.
