Consideration is given to the need for the teachers of Language and Literacy to familiarise themselves with the theoretical structures which serve as the basis for instruction in this area. This focus, coming at the third level, enables the student to deal with planning from a theoretical framework since content has been covered in the previous two years. Special emphasis is given to Children's Literature as a vehicle for the development of a theory of Language and Literacy instruction which reflects current methodological techniques and recent advances in language learning. Emphasis is given to developing the student's attitudes and habits in reading through undertaking of personal reading.
