2025
Abstract
Literacy is important foundational knowledge for all teaching areas and classroom settings. Language and Literacy covers the building blocks of literacy, as well as the developmental skills all pre-service and in-service teachers need to teach effectively and meaningfully across the Australian curriculum. Part one moves chronologically from the early years to the secondary years, covering phonological, phonemic and morphological awareness, word and sentence-level grammar, language use in social contexts, and a discussion on English language diversity and change. Part two introduces the metalanguage, content knowledge and teaching methods required to develop students' competence in vocabulary, text types and grammar, as well as oracy, reading, writing and critical literacy. Each chapter includes discussion points and further resources to engage students, with key terms linked to the comprehensive glossary. Written by experienced educators, Language and Literacy is an essential resource, offering a focused exploration of language and literacy knowledge for pre-service and in-service teachers.
