Teacher training

Advance your teaching to help students achieve their potential in language and literacy.

Language is at the heart of what we do, how we live and the ways we learn. Teaching Language in Context reveals how an explicit understanding of how language works can help you to make informed teaching choices. Written by two Australian experts in the field, and with a functional approach to literacy, it equips you with the knowledge to refine your own literacy capacities. You will develop essential skills and new strategies to support students learning how to critically read and compose texts. Designed as a resource to support you throughout your study and in your professional life, this refreshed version draws on recent developments in research and teaching. With the inclusion of ‘Think about it’ and ‘Have a go!’ activities to help you reflect on your learning and familiarise yourself with language features, Teaching Language in Context will strengthen your own language skills in this evolving learning space.
