Course Description
This course provides an in depth look into the way that literacy skills are interconnected and can be taught in an integrated and effective way across the curriculum.
Just as literacy is intimately interwoven with language development, the various areas of literacy - reading, writing, speaking, listening and viewing - are intertwined as well.
Instead of teaching these skills in isolation from each other, this course highlights the benefits gained from an integrated approach to literacy learning. It gives concrete examples of literacy lessons and opportunities for participants to experiment with creating their own lessons and activities.
Target Audience:
The course is based around the Australian Curriculum and international research and is useful for educators of all years across the curriculum both nationally and internationally.
