About this Unit
In 2009 this unit replaced by 101494 - Language and Literacy 2 (AREP). This unit continues the development of students’ understandings about language and literacy in a K-6 context, including the development of emergent literacy. The unit will focus on the area of writing, including literary, factual, media and multimedia texts. It will include the teaching of spelling and functional grammar. Students will develop their theoretical knowledge about the teaching and learning of writing, and the relationship between writing, reading, talking and listening. Students will have an opportunity to investigate methodologies employed in school and will develop a mini unit of work and teaching plans with a literacy focus. The unit includes a compulsory Professional Experience component.
