The unit examines ways of enhancing children's language learning through talking, listening, reading, writing and viewing as they begin to create and understand the oral, written and visual texts of their environment. Current literacy and language acquisition theories are examined. The diverse needs of learners are considered and appropriate teaching strategies to develop literacy skills are explored. As part of the learning experience students undertake lesson observation in NSW schools.
