About this Unit
From 2020 students should note that core units are now taught in semesters rather than half yearly sessions. This unit increases students' understandings of the impact of globalisation, new technologies and the diversity of Australian languages and dialects on children’s literacy practices. It provides opportunities for students to develop insights into the importance of languages and cultures in children’s identity formation, particularly in relation to the importance of the home language and dialect for bilingual and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Contemporary social theories of diversity and difference and frameworks of literacy and languages learning will be introduced to students and the links between theory and practice will be applied. Students will have the opportunity to investigate the literacy practices in diverse family and community contexts and apply literacy-enriched play and pedagogies to extend languages learning and literacy for all children.
