Subject content
Students will be able to identify suitable supplemental readings, and develop skills that allow them to critically examine issues and ideas relating to Language and Literature in Education.
Academic and graduate skills
Academic skills: students will develop their abilities in terms of note taking, searching for sources, essay writing at the undergraduate level, and develop skills in order to analyse issues and ideas.
Self-directed learning: each class session will require students to do reading preparation and some follow up activities. The reading and follow up activities will often take several hours to complete so students should make sure that they have built in to their weekly schedule time to complete these tasks. As part of students studies, it is important that they embark on a process of self-directive learning in addition to the formal class meetings.
Graduate skills: students will develop group work skills, formal and informal presentational skills, be able to identify suitable supplemental readings
