Course overview
The aim of this course is to further develop understandings of the theory and practice of teaching English at the secondary level, with a focus on the senior years. Pre-service teachers will explore professional practices in secondary English that are relevant, inclusive, and representative of contemporary contexts, recognising the diversity of learners and learning pathways.
