Language and Literacy Education

The Languages and Literacies Academic Group brings together academics in languages and literacies from a range of education focussed contexts, including the early years, primary, secondary and tertiary settings, and into adulthood.

The Academic Group is located within the Faculty of Education. Its aims include: Creating new knowledge on issues shaping the disciplines of language and literacy through collaboration with stakeholders, providing world-class graduate courses which develop expertise in language and literacy education, organising events which bring together academics, policy-makers, government and non-government institutions, practitioners and community representatives to discuss key language and literacy issues, and further knowledge, supporting masters and doctoral level research students to pursue academic study, and tendering for research grants and consultancy.
