This course offers an opportunity to be acquainted with current theoretical models of reading and writing that have informed recent research in the teaching of reading, vocabulary, writing and grammar. There will be discussion on the implications of research for the teaching and learning of reading and writing in course participants’ own professional situations. Discussion will include critical evaluation of common instructional and assessment practices with reference to the development of reading and writing competencies beyond the level of sentence decoding and production.
