Handbook

As the world is facing a digital technology booming era, you will need to be well-prepared in terms of knowledge and skills to confidently participate in the 4.0 society. The aim of this course is to prepare you, as a pre-service teacher, for this compelling mission. You will be equipped with knowledges to integrate the learning outcomes from other curriculum areas such as Arts, Science, Technology and the Australian curriculum (v9)’s general capabilities in teaching the K-6 English curriculum. At the heart of this course is the teaching of multimodal digital literature adaptation for critical comprehension and creative composition. You will learn about key literary concepts and language and multimodal resources for realising these concepts. You will also learn to apply and critique technology assisted pedagogies for teaching critical comprehension and creative composition of literature and non-literature multimodal digital texts. The knowledge and skills gained in this course will also help you to design differentiated literacy instructions for struggling, high performing and EAL/D students by using multimodal texts for differentiated content, process and learning environment.
