Semester: 1 and 2
Department: FROEBEL EDUCATION

Overview Overview
 

This module will provide students with a broad repertoire of processes and strategies to link assessment, teaching and learning in the areas of writing, reading and oral language in the Primary school.

It will explore how to assess children’s development in reading, writing and language. How to choose effective teaching emphases based on this assessment to cater for children with differing needs. The implications of these approaches for the teaching of Irish and other languages will be discussed.

The area of digital literacy will be explored. The focus will be on developing the skills, knowledge and understanding required to analyse, produce and make meaning with multimodal texts that are disseminated through electronic media, such as computers, televisions, console games, handheld consoles, and mobile phones and touch screen technologies such as the iPad. It also examines how digital literacy is distinguished from the nature of traditional literacy.
