Didactic, Authentic & Functional Pedagogies

Functional Pedagogies

genre studies/text studies in English - allows for a 'purpose' centred approach - teaching analytical skills to allow students to build these skills.

new stage 6 English syllabus moves focus to a broader range of texts - digital, 'real world' texts etc rather than traditional

providing students with a wide range of texts to interact with (comprehension) and tools for composition

teacher modelled writing - showing student 'best practice' for different text types

Authentic Pedagogies

utilising on line mediums for students to post/publish their work

teacher feedback - meaningful feedback that encourages strengths of each learner

peer marking/feedback - students 'swap' writing with a peer to offer feedback on their writing

creative writing where students are given the choice of topic/writing prompt - encourages a personal connection with and understanding that not all students are the same

Didactic Pedagogies

HSC - teaching similar to NAPLAN; building syllabus prescribed knowledge and skills that are 'expected'.

starting with 'foundational' concepts that build towards skills and knowledge of texts

Texts studies in English are prescribed based on syllabus requirements and on 'expectations' of what students in a particular cohort should be able to read and comprehend

NAPLAN preparation (yr 7 & 9) - centrally focused on language 'rules' and conventions

Essay preparation lessons in yr 10 English- students learn the 'rules' of text structure and language conventions.
