EDMAS6054 Literacy, Language and Literature 1
This unit is designed to develop understandings of literacy, language and literature in the Victorian and Australian contexts. It considers the nature and scope of literacy pedagogies in the early years of primary school and the effective strategies for teaching and assessing literacy learning experiences. Theoretical perspectives that underpin how students learn are explored with connections made to current curriculum frameworks. An understanding of what counts as `literacy`, the value of home and school literacies and ways to translate this into classroom practice are considered. The use of children`s literature as part of the teaching and learning experience in the classroom is examined. This course will run over 15 weeks with a blended model of onlinelearning, F2F instruction. intensives and seminars.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2026 student contribution amount: $592
2026 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $592
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
