LYST 245 - Revaluing Readers and Writers
In this course, the construct of learning disability is critically
examined in terms of its social contexts and the cultural space in
which it operates. This course embraces social, linguistic and
transactional views of reading and writing, language, learning,
teaching, and how curriculum and “normality” shape our responses to
those perceived as “struggling.” This course addresses the following
strands: revaluing students who struggle with reading and writing;
strategies for supporting and scaffolding meaning-making processes; and
the nature of reading and language.
