Participation in many aspects of Australian life is dependent on effective communication in Standard Australian English. Developing effective skills for the teaching of English is one of the principal tasks of all teachers. Teachers of English should be familiar with theories of literacy pedagogy, along with research-based strategies that facilitate planning for effective English teaching and learning with diverse groups of learners. They understand that language operates within sociocultural contexts that shape the generic structures and language features of texts for particular audiences and purposes.

This is the final in a suite of three English courses undertaken by all primary pre-service teachers. Through the application of a Multiliteracies Pedagogy, pre-service teachers develop an understanding of the macro and micro-elements of English curriculum planning, assessment and pedagogical approaches for upper primary learners. The further application of the Four Resources Model emphasises text analysis and genre-based approaches to the transformation of texts and learners in the English classroom.

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course in accordance with the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership鈥檚 (AITSL) Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST). On successful completion of this course pre-service teachers should be able to:

1. apply appropriate pedagogy to plan, structure and sequence high-quality English curriculum learning experiences, for learners in the upper primary years of schooling (APST 2.2, 3.2, 3.3);
2. develop a broad repertoire of pedagogical strategies, including content and resource selection and organisation, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), and multiliteracies pedagogy (APST 2.1, 2.6, 3.4, 3.5);
3. use appropriate pedagogies when planning for effective practice for learners from diverse backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (APST 1.3, 1.4, 2.4);
4. design and plan authentic assessment tasks (APST 2.3, 5.1, 5.3).
