Rafaela Cleeve Gerkens; Richard Sallis; Annemaree O'Brien – Research in Drama Education, 2024
This paper reports on a major study which examined how middle-primary teachers (of students aged 8-10) in Australia used drama-rich pedagogy in their literacy programs to support the development of academic language proficiency, a critical element of ongoing student progress in literacy beyond the early years.

Yandell, John – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
The 'knowledge turn' in curriculum studies has proved highly influential in the past two decades. But what is meant by knowledge remains both unclear and subject to contestation, particularly in relation to English as a school subject. Two recent books address the knowledge question in very different ways.

Multimodal discourse analysis (MMDA) has been instrumental in the evolution of English curriculum and pedagogy. However, it is unusual for educators to direct the tools of multimodal inquiry to their own text productions. In the context of prioritising accessibility within the new Queensland Certificate of Education in Queensland, which has…

Wells, Shannon; Moon, Brian – English in Education, 2021
Secondary school English is shaped not only by complex institutional and discursive forces but also by the mundane reality of available resources. Among the resources used by teachers are commercial textbooks. Classroom textbooks can play a significant role in determining what gets taught in English lessons. They can also influence assumptions…

The Australian Curriculum provides a warrant for all subject English teachers to enact the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures Cross-curriculum priority (CCP). This priority is 'designed for all students to engage in reconciliation, respect, and recognition of the world's oldest continuous living cultures' (ACARA, n.d.-a).…

Georgina Barton; Stewart Riddle; Nathan Lowien – English Teaching: Practice and Critique, 2024
Purpose: Faced with increasing systemic constraints and pressures, secondary school English teachers often implement transactional approaches to pedagogy and curriculum aimed at improving student results on external exams, which are then used to rank schools. Despite the pressure to teach this way, teachers acknowledge the power of literature,…

Campbell, Stacey – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2020
Phonics continues to be one of the most controversial literacy instruction topics debated in the USA, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Miranda Middleton; Jen Scott Curwood – Australian Journal of Language and Literacy, 2020
A significant body of research points to the challenges faced by English teachers in balancing creative pedagogy with the demands of high-stakes testing. However, few studies have examined teachers' conceptions of the importance of creativity in the context of end-of-school examinations. This study addresses this critical gap by exploring the…

Diamond, Fleur; Bulfin, Scott – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
The growing interest in the history of curriculum and pedagogy in subject English might be seen as a response to educational reforms that are replacing earlier, progressive understandings of subject English with narrowly technical understandings of teacher professional knowledge and practice. This essay emerges out of an intergenerational,…

Davies, Larissa McLean; Martin, Susan K.; Buzacott, Lucy – English in Australia, 2017
This paper examines the role of literature in the English classroom in Australia and its part in shaping national identity. We contend that it is important to consider the possible roles of national literatures in contemporary school contexts, where students are becoming local and global citizens and argue that reading Australian literature as a…

Sawyer, Wayne – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2016
This essay focuses on two sites of memory in my professional life. One is from my very early years of teaching, the second from about 10 years later. Each is centred on a moment of controversy in English curriculum in New South Wales, Australia, and each is to do with the teaching of writing and the supposed neglect of language study, including…

Thomas, Angela; To, Vinh – English in Australia, 2019
'Asia literacy' can be loosely defined as having 'some understanding of Asia and its languages in order to engage with it and communicate with its people' (Erebus Consulting Partners, 2002). The Australian Curriculum has prioritised children's development of Asia literacy, specifically through articulating the cross-curriculum priority defined as…
