This unit will develop and extend the skills that students require for different types of writing and reading associated with their work as teachers. Students will engage in the writing process in the workshops, and will be given opportunities to extend their strengths in this area. The unit will cover writing and reading for both academic and classroom purposes, for example writing for examinations, letters to caregivers, and reports on scientific experiments. It will also provide sufficient background to enhance their teaching of literacy skills in school settings. Contextualisation of writing and reading tasks will be a feature of the unit.
